Riley Burns is the best at what he does. The famous artists he represents and considers family fulfill his professional dreams. But behind his successful persona, Riley leads a lonely life, and secrets he's recently uncovered about his own family threaten to unravel everything. The mysterious woman he met at a party a year ago still lingers in his thoughts, but despite his best efforts, he never found her after she vanished without a trace.
Bruised and on the run from a dangerous past, Devon has no one to trust-except the one man who made her feel seen and cherished, even if just for a few hours. Riley becomes her safe haven, helping her stand strong against the demons that haunt her. What Devon doesn't know is that her presence in Riley's life is the missing puzzle piece he desperately needs to bring new meaning to his own existence.
As they grow closer, their friendship blossoms into something meaningful and beautiful. Together, they must learn to forgive and trust that life can shine brighter after tragedy.
Can Devon leave her past behind and embrace the possibility of true love and hope, or will it threaten to shatter the life she and Riley are building?
