What do you do when you find the girl of your dreams? Lie so you can become the man of hers. The way Taryn Maddox and I first met wasn't ideal--I'd almost driven off a bridge and she was meant make any charges go away. Not exactly the best first impression. Her, though? She's incredible. Stunning, smart, and possessing a soft warmth to her eyes, even when standing over the hospital bed of a degenerate (me). I've never been on the other side of that kind of compassion. Ever. I knew I couldn't lose her. Not even during the moments she could see right into me and the incredible pain I'm hiding. It's only when a threat from her past resurfaces that I'm forced to evaluate whether my secrets are worth more than her life. I'd do anything for the woman I'm falling in love with--except lose her. I'm afraid if she ever discovers the truth about me, she'll become exactly that. An irretrievable dream. Contains mature themes.
