She's nothing he expected. He's nothing she wanted. Mackaela Stone is damaged. Haunted by her past, she's worked hard to wall herself off from ever repeating the mistakes that left her feeling too filthy for love. But meeting Simon Silver might be enough to crack those fortifications-if he can overcome his own turbulent history. Trusting one another is hard enough, but finding faith, hope and love may be more than they can manage. Is their connection enough to give them something to believe in? Or is the damage done too great to overcome?
