ABOUT THE BOOK
Damian Gaines has worked the past few years to overcome a lifetime of trauma from his small hometown, and if it were up to him, he’d never return to Prairie, Michigan. But his father’s impending trial brings memories of his tumultuous past bubbling to the surface, threatening to unravel the fragile sense of normalcy he’s managed to build.
Upon returning, he seeks peace and safety in the arms of Kira Johnson, the girl who once played a pivotal role in saving his life. Their reunion, however, proves to be a complex dance of emotions, as he navigates the haunting echoes of the past.
Damian will need to find the strength to face his father’s trial, make peace with his scars, and freely love the girl he’s never stopped needing.
