He’s gone. Thousands of miles away from each other, Dean and I fight to heal, reconcile, and reignite our hot, tender passion.

And my own struggle to stand tall and be independent takes an unexpected hit. Then the vindictive Hamiltons try to use me as a weapon against my husband. Though Dean promised to stay away from Mirror Lake, nothing can stop him from rushing back to protect me with everything he has. But this time, I won’t let him.
