Fate took Cassandra down a path she never expected. Then a small town in Colorado gave her exactly what she needed-until tragedy left her heartbroken and devastated. Alone with only her child and her memories, Cassie struggled to put her life back together, one day at a time, piece by piece. Finding love again was something she never thought possible. That was, until she ran into an unlikely stranger who flipped her entire world on its axis. Aidan had a secret locked away in his heart; one that would surely send Cassie running the second she discovered it. He held onto her closely and kept his secret guarded, but one careless mistake could reveal all. Their friendship was strong, their moments beautiful, and the love that brewed between them intense-something neither denied. The only problem? Cassie was slowly letting him into her life. Could she let herself get close to the one person she didn't think she should? Her mind tells her to run, but her heart tells her to stay.
