Sometimes even the best intentions can harm those we're trying the hardest to protect.
For over ten years Ryder Daniels has kept a secret - a secret that changed the trajectory of his life. One night. One misunderstanding. Two broken hearts.
Alexandra Davis has given up on love. That dream and hope for the future vanished when her high school sweetheart stood her up on prom night with no explanation. Instead, she's hardened her heart and adopted casual sex as a means of survival.
Life would be perfect for Alex as long as she didn't have to see the bane of her existence on an almost daily basis. With Ryder being a core member of her circle of friends, her only choice is to tolerate his presence any way she can.
Ryder knows sharing his knowledge would exonerate him, but doing so would shatter the world of the only woman he's ever loved. It isn't until he sees the extent of the damage the secret has caused that he begins to question his vow of silence.
Will sharing his knowledge exonerate Ryder, or will he continue to take the fall? Will Alex's snarky comebacks protect her heart or will a big reveal rip the world she thought she was living in completely apart?
