After losing memories of her ex, and gaining them back after he left her, the scars within her can't compare to the ones on her body. But a certain police chief and his family are about to break down the walls she built up.

Matt Flores just wants to raise his daughter, Charlie, right. His wife ran off years ago, not caring to worry about their baby daughter or him. So when Charlie lands in trouble, and is forced to do community service hours, he's forced to come face to face every day with the woman who's been on his mind lately. 

But as hidden scars heal, more will surface, testing the bonds these two will build together.

When Jake learns I'm nearby, the cocky jerk will stop at nothing to rekindle what didn't work before. He thinks he's grown and matured past the boy who crushed my teenage heart.
