The future is never carved in stone. Bad boy Kade Maxwell knows the pain of loss. His sister's death tore his family apart, and his life seemed destined to continue down a nightmarish path until he met Lacey Robinson. Her determination and dedication make him believe he can dream again. Lacey longs for three things: a baseball scholarship with ASU, a future with Kade, and to find the person who killed her mom and sister. When a trip to California opens a door that could expose the killer, Kade's and Lacey's paths begin to diverge. Kade will do anything to protect the woman he loves, even if it means trading his life for hers. Lacey vows to push through her demons and show Kade and her family that she has what it takes to rise above tragedy, even if she must run into the arms of a killer to save a loved one. Intended for audiences 18 years and older. For a better reading experience, it is highly recommended to read Dare to Kiss first.
