Emma Stevens still lives with the guilt of an impossible decision from her past: being forced to choose which of her young siblings to save in the fire that decimated their childhood home. And to this day, she’s never stopped thinking about the boy next door who’d dragged her to safety that night. Or the fact that he’d been the one to cause the fire in the first place…
Jake Rowan may not have been able to save Emma’s little brother all those years ago, but he was able to save his own brother. By taking the fall for the accidental fire he’d had nothing to do with, and serving out his sentence in juvie, Jake managed to keep his older brother out of prison. At the cost of his own future…and the girl of his dreams.
Now, fourteen years later, Jake finds himself on Emma’s doorstep once again. Not to save her life this time, but to repair it—along with her heart—if she’ll let him.
