When Maxine Carrigan hopped on a bus fresh out of high school to travel halfway across the country, her one goal was to escape her hometown and become a successful chef in New York City. She did not expect to fall in love with a high-profile lawyer or have her heart broken when she realized he wasn't who she thought he was. Running away a second time, at twenty-one years of age, Max finds herself at the mercy of two brothers isolated in the middle of nowhere in upstate New York. Forced to rely on them for help, she quickly realizes that they, too, have a dark past that they've spent years healing from. As she adjusts to her new reality, Max will be pushed to let go of her self-imposed isolation in favor of two men who push her boundaries and make her feel things she's never allowed herself to feel before. Will she be able to help them in return?
