Years ago, Alia Drake fell hard for Nate, but never made her move. Instead, she set up her sister with the sexy, confident military man, a foolish decision that continues to haunt all three of them.

Deception and lies never really ends well. The end doesn’t
always justify the means. Some years ago, Alia Drake fell in love with Nate Riordan.
But instead on acting up on it, she pushed her sister to the military man –
which started everything, and still continued to haunt them all. Now, Nate was
her patient and she’s the only one who can help him. Can she be strong enough
not to cross the boundaries of professionalism? She wanted to apologize, she
wanted to explain, she wanted to be honest with him – would he allow her?
Nate Riordan was injured, and it was more of the inside
rather than the outside injuries that have been making him giving him intense
pain and nightmares. He didn’t want to touch his pain medications anymore and
he’s desperate for an escape. Good thing, a friend offered him to stay in a new
veteran’s retreat for some R&R. What he didn’t expect to see was the woman
who helped in deceiving him and broke his heart.
They both have issues from their past, but she was the
only one who can help him with his present problem. He didn’t like the fact,
but he has little choice. She didn’t mean what she did back then. Somehow, she
thought she was helping her sister until it was too late. Until she found
himself falling for someone she shouldn’t. Despite the deception, I Alia was
honest with her feelings in every letter and care packages she sent to him. And
whatever she did in the past, she owed up to her mistake now, tried to be
professional and not cross the line.
But there was that powerful chemistry that has always
been between the two of them – they both tried to fight it for different
reasons, but both are powerless to stop. Will they finally embrace their fate
and take the risk this time?
It’s a story of forgiveness, second chances and love. I
love the fact that this wasn’t an insta-love type of story. The attraction was
there, but the love slowly grew every single day that they spent together –
despite the nightmares, their past and the uncertainty of their future.
