Lauren Layne’s New Adult novel tells the story of a girl with secrets, a guy with scars, and a love that could save them both... or destroy them.
When Olivia Middleton abandons the glamour of Park Avenue for a remote, coastal town in Maine, everyone assumes she’s being the kind do-gooder she’s always been. But Olivia has a secret: helping an injured war veteran reenter society isn’t about charity—it’s about penance. Only, Olivia’s client isn’t the grateful elderly man she’s expecting. Instead, he’s a brooding twenty-four-year-old who has no intention of being Olivia’s path to redemption . . . and whose smoldering gaze and forbidden touch might be her undoing.
Paul Langdon doesn’t need a mirror to show him he’s no longer the hotshot quarterback he was before the war. He knows he’s ugly—inside and out. He’ll do anything to stay in self-imposed exile, even accept his father’s ultimatum that Paul tolerate the newest caretaker for three months or lose his inheritance. But Paul doesn’t count on the beautiful twenty-two-year-old who makes him long for things that he can never have. And the more she slips past his defenses, the more keeping his distance is impossible.
Now Paul and Olivia have to decide: Will they help each other heal? Or are they forever broken?

Teaser Reveal!**
Olivia squirms. "Why are you
looking at me like that?"
"I've never known a female to
acquiesce that easily without a catch. How about you hit me with it
now and get it over with?”
Olivia shrugs. "Fine. I was
going to say that I won't run alone, if you promise to go with me."
"No," I say, almost
before she's finished her sentence.
"Why not?"
I rap my cane once against the
ground. "Well, for starters, despite the fact that there are
tortoises that could surpass your sorry excuse for a jog, I'm in no
shape to accompany even the most pathetic of runners."
"What a handy skill you have
of overloading a sentence with insults," she says as she reaches
up to adjust her ponytail. "That must be helpful what with your
thriving social life and all."
I thump my cane against the ground
again, studying her. "Must be nice, picking on the cripple."
Olivia rolls her eyes. "Please.
Your soul's more crippled than your leg."
She
has no idea how right she is, and I have no intention of letting her
anywhere close enough to find out. I've gotten good at shutting
people out by pushing them away . . . being as nasty as possible
until they reach their breaking point. But with her? It's different.
