Some homes. Some people. Some loves... are simply unforgettable.
Miranda Maxwell knows exactly what a safe place is worth. Abandoned as a child, she found her home at The Good Shepherd-a rambling old Victorian the residents affectionately call the Beast-and she's spent her life since caring for others: its eccentric found family, her elderly patients, and the woman who gave her a second chance when she needed one most. Then missing money, a devastating betrayal, and a foreclosure notice put all of it at risk, and Miranda has only weeks to save the house that once saved her.
The one person who can help is the last person she wants to face. Cameron Shades was Brighton's charming troublemaker-quick smile, dangerous secrets, and the power to break her heart-and asking for him means reopening wounds she buried long ago. But as the two of them chase the trail of stolen money, Miranda begins to wonder whether the man she was sure would always leave might be the one who never really did-and whether she's brave enough to let him stay.
