Home is where a person can realize and follow their dreams. Where they feel safe and secure. Loved. That was never my life in the United Kingdom, where I was born.
America.
Land of the free. My dream. Home. As far away from all of my tormentors and bullies as I can possibly be. An entire six thousand mile ocean between us. Gainesville, Florida, is a city where I can begin to heal from the scars of my past.
A chance encounter with the dangerously sexy Captain DJ Rens of the Gainesville Police Department threatens to derail all of my plans. I wanted to start over. I hadn't intended on the wickedly tantalizing, ungodly commanding, frustratingly enticing man to bulldoze my walls to the ground.
But happily ever after has never existed in my world.
When my past crashes into the safety of the world I built, all of the walls DJ broke through are quickly fortified. DJ is everything I've ever wanted, but I'm terrified of getting hurt.
Avoiding that level of pain might be worth letting the love DJ promises with his actions and words slip away...
