Josie Kingston is receiving threatening texts and she is terrified that her secrets and the ghosts of her past have finally caught up with her. After the news that one of her employee's is killed, she receives a text with a picture and this message; 'This should have been you Look what you made me do ' Josie would rather die than live with the guilt of knowing that she was responsible for an innocent woman's death but the Kingston family has other plans. Josie is forced to run for her life and there's no one else to protect her but Mattie Jackson. As hard as she has tried to fight her feelings for him, Mattie continues to prove to her that she deserves to be loved, protected and even worshipped. After her failed marriages, can she open her heart to what he is offering or will she run, like she always does? Mattie Jackson has always had a way with the ladies. He makes good money as the top executive lawyer for Kingston Enterprises and spends a lot of time with his godson Grayson. Life should be great for him but he can't seem to get Josie Kingston out of his head. When Josie's life is in danger, he's the first one to enlist his services to protect her. Josie has always been an enigma to him since their first meeting. When she starts to open up to him about her past he can't help but to fall even harder for her in the hopes that one day she will feel the same way about him. When someone from Mattie's past shows up out of nowhere, his first instinct is to run away and lick his wounds. At Josie's request, he unwillingly agrees to the possibility of letting the one person who has hurt him the most back into his life. When everything goes devastatingly wrong, Mattie prays that Josie chooses to do the right thing and stay by his side and not run from her problems like she has in the past. Can love survive or is it better to love from afar? That is the question Mattie is pondering over when everything he's ever wanted suddenly disappears.
