Despite all her lists, spreadsheets, and research, Emma Murdock's-make that Porter's-life hasn't gone to plan. All she ever wanted was connection, someone who truly cared, and when she married Todd Murdock, she thought her wish had come true. Until things went sideways, and she ended up divorced at twenty-eight and being paid off to disappear quietly.
Now, her greatest fear was a reality. Emma bought an old house in a small town where she would fade away in a world where no one knew she existed.
Except him.
This was Wyatt's house, and he had never allowed anyone to share it with him, but there was something about the pain this new owner radiated that drew him in. Maybe he would let her stay for a little while. Misery loved company after all.
When co-habiting turned into an unlikely relationship for them both, their secrets come to light, but healing the past could be the very thing that will end their future.
