About the Book

Shawn dreams of finding love but only finds frustration—until he meets Violet, a mysterious woman who sees past his autism to the man within. But Violet carries scars of her own: trapped in a life of exploitation, she's learned that closeness brings danger. Yet something about Shawn feels different. Safe. Real. Worth risking everything.

Together, they must defy impossible odds and fight for each other—because only love has the power to heal their deepest wounds and break them free from their past.

This inspirational contemporary romance returns as a completely reimagined 10th Anniversary Edition, with expanded storytelling and deeper emotional depth.
