Hannah Rooney has a plan: keep her head down and avoid the dealings of her criminal family. She's biding her time in nursing school, waiting for her beloved sister, Kaylie, to turn eighteen so Hannah can get them both far away.

Tobias Hawthorne II acts every inch the entitled heir. Yet behind his razor sharp cheekbones and devil may care attitude, Toby is guarding a nest of deadly secrets and a fiery anger.

Then, Hannah and Toby’s lives collide in one tragic night, where an act of arson leaves Kaylie dead, and Toby barely alive, with no memory of who he is – or how responsible he is for the fire.

Now, fueled by her hatred, Hannah is determined to deny Toby his death wish by keeping him alive. But as she nurses him back, Hannah begins to realise that Toby Hawthorne might just be earning her love rather than deserving of her hate . . .
