Where you found me

No one knows what happened that night.

Not my brother.

Not my friends.

Not even the man I've secretly loved for years.

The only people who know the truth are my ex-roommate, the man who trued to kill me... and the police.

After surviving an attack that nearly took my life, I move into my older brother Austin's house, desperate for a place where I can finally feel safe. I tell everyone it was an accident. It's easier than admitting someone tried to kill me.

Especially when I can't even say his name.

Living with Austin means living with Joey-his best friend, the boy who practically grew up in our house, and the childhood crush I never quite got over.

Joey has demons of his own. Years of abuse stole his ability to sleep, so when my nightmares wake the entire house, he's always the one outside my bedroom door. He never pushes. Never asks questions. He simply stays.

Until one night... I finally let him in.

As stolen glances turn into lingering touches and comfort becomes something neither of us can resist, I find myself falling for the one man I can never have.

But the truth has a way of catching up.

And when the secrets I've buried threaten to destroy the life I've started rebuilding, Joey will have to decide just how far he's willing to go to protect the woman he's loved all along.

Sometimes the safest place you'll ever find...

...is in the arms of the person who found you.
