Gideon Eginhard has been in love with Penny Camhion for years. But the guilt that lives inside him from a fateful act in his youth that has dictated his life won’t allow him to act on it. Not to mention, she’s the sister of his best friend, Nash. But when Penny needs his help, he can’t turn his back on her.
Penny Camhion once thought Gideon would be too controlling for her to ever consider a real relationship with him, despite her attraction to him. But with age and experience, her feelings for Gideon have grown, and she now longs to act on those feelings, but Gideon doesn’t seem interested. She allows him to keep his distance.
But when danger lurks, Penny turns to Gideon. The threats against her and her family remind her of what had happened to her brother, Nash, years ago. Back then, Gideon had been her brother’s rescuer and protector. This time, would he be hers?
