Greer McCutcheon has had to rebuild her life twice: once when her parents died, and once when Kirby Delacroix left her. She's not going to do it again. Not even when Kirby suddenly reappears ten years later and flips things upside down while somehow validating everything she'd ever believed about them.
For five years, every word out of Kirby's mouth was a lie. Not just to Greer—to everyone. She always thought he was undercover, but after he disappeared, nothing happened to the criminal organization they both worked for. She moved on, went to school, and clawed her way into a career spent helping people who needed to escape from dire circumstances. If she's been too focused on that and not on having a full, balanced life, well, she hasn't noticed.
Kirby did lie to Greer, and everyone else, but his biggest lie was to himself after he was pulled from his undercover role. Circumstance and his job at WAVE have brought him back into her life, but in the worst way: WAVE is investigating a trafficking program linked to Greer and her company.
None of the feelings they'd had for each other ten years ago are gone. But Kirby is here to disrupt everything Greer has built, and then he's going to be gone again. She'll deal with having to start over professionally, but she will not open herself up to the kind of pain that loss brings. As if her heart will give her a choice.
