Sensible and predictable Stacie Nightingale was bored with life when a tragic car accident broke the filter on her practical nature. Now she’s quit her teaching job mid-year, left her fiance without a word, and moved across country on an impulse. Even more reckless, the aspiring children’s author has had a one-night stand with a man she doesn’t even know...a man who turns out to be her neighbor. Stacie soon finds herself in a relationship she neither wants nor wants to give up. Living impulsively, she ignores the lingering effects of the car accident and the way this amazing man makes her heart race. What she learns is that some things should never be ignored...or kept secret, including a past that continues to haunt her.
Computer security expert Owen Landry has been divorced twice from cheating wives. That alone should make the discharged soldier gun-shy about jumping into a relationship with someone as secretive as Stacie. Owen has always ignored his instincts about women, but this time he’s listening to his inner radar. He’s ready to leave the past behind and forge a new life...with Stacie. He doesn’t like to keep secrets, but he’s scared his past will make Stacie run. Even if she can look beyond his past, her secrets cause him to doubt his his heart again. Then he realizes she’s suffering from post-traumatic stress and a traumatic brain injury that may as well be a ticking bomb. With their future in jeopardy, they find love is the best way to leave the past behind.
