Hattie Morris just wanted to be loved. Maybe that sounded overdramatic. She grew up in a blended family with four older half-brothers who loved her. Her dad never let a day go by without letting her know she was his pride and joy and her step-mom never treated her as anything other than her own daughter. One by one, she saw her brothers fall in love and start their families, leaving Hattie to wonder if it would ever be her turn. Her life is complicated even more by a ghost from the past that has the power to bring her down completely. Hattie is finally getting her chance at love, but the whirlwind of family drama might be too much for their relationship to handle. Zoey Lesnar found her passion in writing at a young age as a way to escape the strict household that she grew up in. She knew at a young age that her religious family was never going to be accepting of her true self, but when she finally took the plunge to come out to them, she didn't expect the immediate cold shoulder. Navigating her adult life without her family was difficult, but she ended up finding solace in a new relationship and the supportive family that came with it. Hattie makes Zoey feel like she can conquer the world and that feeling is exactly what they'll need to have faith in.

As much as she wanted to live the lavish life that she was accustomed to, she wasn't too sure how much longer she could suffer under the strict rules put in place by her father before his death.

His mama would kill him if she knew the truth about what he did that night, but she was irresistible in her deep red dress and the matching lipstick.

Griffin "Gruff" Wilkins was a man of few words, a trait he learned at a young age. He was the oldest in his family and learned real quick that if he opened his mouth, it was often shut with a fist or a belt. Therefore, he became a quiet protector rather than the loud-mouth like some of his brothers. After a failed marriage, he decided to focus just on his shop and himself, even if that meant still dipping into his ex-wife from time to time when he needed to get his rocks off. He wasn't looking for anything else until he found himself face to face with a woman who needed his help, the silent protector was back in full force. The only problem was that this woman came with enough baggage to open an airport, including two children, one of whom reminded him a lot of his younger self. Camila Perez thought that she had found her chance at the high life when she met a man at sixteen who swore he'd take care of her. For many years, her life was almost magical, but when the charm wore off, she was left dealing with the devil himself. She dealt with the abuse of her husband for years, but once he began to take his anger out on her two children, she knew it was time to go. A flat tire and a friendly face would bring her into the home of a man who she should have been fearful of. His icy blue eyes were exactly the opposite of the black ones she had come to fear. Camila never thought she could feel safe and secure again, but Gruff Wilkins is about to show her what a real man could give her.
