One mistake cost her everything...but the man she's spent years avoiding just offered her a way out. There's only one catch...it involves a ring.

For Anna, hiding her scars has always been a necessity-from the bruises of her childhood to the mistake that nearly cost her everything. Keeping the world at a distance is how she survives-especially the man who's tempted her since the moment they met.

Mason Decker has buried his past by achieving more than he ever thought possible. But he learned young that he couldn't save everyone, and no amount of success has ever filled that space. Saving Anna might be the closest thing to redemption he'll ever get.

When tragedy leaves Anna fighting to keep the only family she has left, her past becomes the weapon that could tear her niece and nephew away from her. But Mason will do anything to keep her and her loved ones safe-even if that means wedding bells.

It's supposed to be a marriage of convenience and nothing more, but a new spark is igniting between them-one neither of them can ignore. Only someone is watching...someone who'll do whatever it takes to snuff out that light for good.
