The One Who Lost Himself

Three years ago, Avery Benett kissed a stranger outside a crowded club and told him that if he wanted to see her again, he would have to find her.

He never did.

Now he is standing in her law firm.

Cade Hensley is supposed to be a client. He is also married, in the middle of a divorce, and the only man Avery has never quite managed to forget.

What begins as unfinished attraction quickly becomes something neither of them expected. Because behind Cade's confidence is a past he would rather keep buried-and a man who has spent years doing what everyone else needed from him.

With Avery, he finally starts choosing something for himself.

But loving someone is easy when nothing is asking you to let them go.

And Cade has never been very good at choosing himself.
