I never gave a f*** about my family’s billions. I’m a military man, honorable and true.

But my damn brother felt differently. He had me tossed in prison for a crime I didn’t commit, and now, all I think about is revenge. It slowly becomes an obsession until something finally breaks through the dark cloud.

My high school sweetheart.

It’s been ten years since graduation, and she isn’t a little smart-assed girl anymore. She’s a woman. My woman.

I thought prison would undo me, but nothing could prepare me for the secret my girl held back from me. A baby. A family. One I didn’t know I had.

And now my brother knows, too. He’ll use anything to destroy me, including my kid.

Money creates opportunity, but there’s a cost it requires. The payment for wealth is high, and my brother is willing to go all in.

I might have started out honorable, but now? There’s nothing this ex-con won’t do to keep his family safe.

Even kill.

The heartbreaker is back in town. Dr. Sam Kirk broke Lucki Stevenson’s heart in high school. Years later, he’s moved back into his childhood home–the house next door to Lucki. Will he leave her heartbroken again? Or can the good doctor mend her broken heart of the past?

Lucki Stevenson spends most of her time coaching unruly teenagers and avoiding the unwelcome advances of a co-worker in her Harbor Falls Parks and Recreation job. So when all-grown-up, boy-next-door, Dr. Sam Kirk moves back into his childhood home, she doesn’t hesitate to welcome him back into town and her life–as her childhood best friend, of course. Because that’s all she and Sam will ever be–best friends.

She gave her heart to Sam once. She won’t give him a second chance to break it.

Returning home to raise his younger brother after their mother’s death, Sam feels fortunate that Lucki still lives next door, and is even happier that the tomboy he remembers is now a beautiful woman. Although reluctant to accept Lucki’s expert advice about kids, thinking he knows what’s best for his brother, Sam finally takes some advice from Lucki about how to handle the moody teenager. Convinced he’s now on the road to success as a parent, Sam wonders if he can find similar success as Lucki’s potential boyfriend.

Can Sam convince Lucki he is not the heartbreaker of her past? Can he mend her high school broken heart and risk a second chance at a future together? Perhaps, but Lucki is not easily swayed. That’s when Sam gets the whole of Harbor Falls in on the act.

Serpent tongues, slithering all around, hissing violent, toxic things, choking the very life out of me… There is no light here, yet I cling to a formless hope that may not even exist. Even as this personal prison tries to wring the last bit of breath from my cold body, I can’t help but think that a lifeline will be thrown to me through the barrage of taunting shadows that tempt me with whisperings to simply end it myself.

The voices of past deeds and experiences never stop, no matter how hard I work to get over the scarred bits that are always on the verge of being picked open like a sore that will never heal. Most days, I’d rather bang my head into a concrete slab until they all just shut the fuck up. That all stopped the day I found her, a broken, quivering mess who was afraid to leave my property. Her personal demons shone through her sunken eyes, and I knew I had found someone familiar. She scared me to death, but through her, my purpose in this godforsaken world came into focus.

She needed me to be a beacon… to show her the way out of the desolate pit of hell that I had only recently figured out how to climb out of.
