Lucas Kiefer has lived through hell. Assaulted and nearly murdered by a man obsessed with him, he now lives with horrible scars inside and out. Abandoned by his boyfriend while trying to recover, Lucas withdraws into himself. Building a new life, he focuses only on running his bookstore. But his nightmare returns when, 10 years later, his attacker is released from jail on a technicality.
Sheriff Nicholas Demetris has known and loved Lucas for five years. He doesn't care about physical scars; he's attracted to the silently strong man inside. He knows Lucas feels more for him than he'll admit. Despite being well aware of Nicholas's feelings, Lucas won't allow anyone close, regardless of the feelings in his heart, especially now when he's once again the focus of unwanted and deadly intentions. Lucas can't stand the idea of anyone being hurt for him, but Nicholas is determined to protect him and earn Lucas's love no matter what.

"I couldn't put it down. Started the book in the middle of the day and finished in the wee hours of the morning. Beautifully written! There's suspense, romance, and the characters actually make sense. This is a book I will be re-reading quite a few times. :) " — Mary (5 out of 5 stars)

" I wish it could have been longer. Riley was crrrazzy! "
" This was very sweet. I loved watching Lucas grow to trust Nic. I do wish it had been longer, and the relationship fleshed out a bit more. Luc did seem to turnaround pretty quickly after 5 years of resisting Nic.I will be checking out more by this author. "
" Cute story, but it really needed a little more meat to it. "
" The unease, creepiness, and fear running through this book is balanced with the unrelenting devotion, friendship, and love between the two main characters. "
" I didn't even finish this but I don't really feel like I need to. Just another blah m/m with flat characters and an idea of a plot. I wish people would quit publishing outlines. "
