She survived him.
But survival doesn't mean she'll choose better next time.
After escaping a toxic, abusive relationship, Heather should be healing, not craving someone who feels dangerously familiar.
He's not the safe choice.
He never pretended to be.
Fiercely loyal. Intense.
Holding himself back in ways she doesn't understand.
He knows exactly what she's been through
and refuses to be another man who takes too much.
But Heather has never been drawn to safe.
Passion has always been her weakness...
and red flags might just be her type.
He could have her.
He just won't take her until she's sure.
Will she finally be chosen
or claimed all over again?
