Lucas Friar's life didn't turn out the way he expected. The dreams he'd had for most of his life changed when he lost the only woman he ever loved. It's been a decade since he last saw her, last held her, last kissed her, and last made love to her. Now he's here to protect her, to be the hero she always knew he was deep inside.
A dare led Riley Matthews on a different path of life than she ever expected one that gave her stardom, fame, money, and stole away the one man that would always have her heart. Now he's back in her life, here to protect her and her family. Will she be able to open up to him, or will her own secrets keep them apart?
Riley Matthews is living in darkness with nowhere to turn or so she thinks when her best friend since 7th grade Lucas Friar steps in to help her and not all the darkness also follows her to school
