Casey is no man's charity project--she takes care of herself and that's all she needs to survive. But in the gruff and ruggedly gorgeous Aiden, she finds a man whose demons match her own--nd who tempts her to stop running once and for all. Yet even if she finds the courage to stay, can she convince him that a future together is possible before time runs out?
