We only met once. The attraction was off the charts. A year later, I'm on the run from a life that left me for dead and land on his doorstep. Can we rekindle what we once had?


In my world, darkness has a name. I've seen darkness. And looked straight into his eyes. I've lived through darkness. Since I was a little girl.


One night. It only took one night for me to think I deserved different. That I deserved better. His name was Riley Burns, the famous music manager responsible for Carter Hills's worldwide success. The chemistry we shared that night was off-the-charts. In a blink of an eye, it got stolen from me.


After the man I despise has left me for dead, I ran away. Ready to put as much distance between us as possible. Because this time, even using his powerful connections, he won't find me. I'll make sure of it.


My safe haven has no idea I'm coming. That I need his help. And the safety he can provide me.


A year has gone by since we met on that rooftop. Will he remember me? Will he be a safe place to heal my wounds? Or was I just an encounter in his life?


Standing on his front porch, I have nowhere else to go. Alone and scarred, I pray this time, darkness won't have a foothold on me. I'm ready to fight back, to get control over my own life, and put my past behind, once and for all.


Can I finally let the seeds of hope he planted into my heart that night grow, or should I keep running for my life?
