Quinn Houghton stopped living a long time ago. For as far back as she cares to remember, she's just been surviving. And she's miserable. Weighed down by the trappings of a humdrum life, Quinn's had too much alone time to dwell on the death of her brother, her dysfunctional relationships with her mother and father, and a career that she no longer enjoys. Rekindling a romance with Andrew McClaine, the never-forgotten, idealized love of her life, will be just the shot of adrenaline that her life needs-or, so she hopes. But after a corporate merger, someone new begins competing for Quinn's attention: the dashing, charismatic and talented Jason Jones. Jason dares Quinn to be honest, open-minded and emotionally brave. He may not be the type of man she'd typically want, but could be the very man she needs. As Quinn finds herself challenged with more heartache and loss, she's faced with a choice: play it safe and fall back on familiar, destructive habits-or grow, change, and love without fear.
