A tattooed, touch-averse alpha becomes the sunshine to a grieving woman's darkness--but the secret connecting him to her family's brutal murder could destroy the love that's healing them both. From USA Today bestselling author Michelle Heard.
Kelcie
After losing my entire family in a brutal attack, I'm drowning in grief. The only bright spot? My mysterious new neighbor, Levi--a tattooed bestselling author who somehow understands my pain.
He's grumpy, he's damaged, and he hates being touched. Except by me.
Levi
I moved next door to Kelcie for one reason: to make sure she's okay after the tragedy that took her family. A tragedy I know more about than I should.
She's the only person whose touch doesn't make my skin crawl. The only one who makes me want to be whole again.
But I'm hiding a devastating secret--one that connects me to the worst night of her life. And when she discovers the truth, it could destroy the fragile love we've built from our broken pieces.
