Chance brought them together, but a long-hidden secret could tear them apart...

With a childhood full of broken promises, forgiveness doesn’t comes easy for Emery Phillips. Her family home is on the brink of foreclosure and she’s looking for the one guy who can save everything. Armed with nothing but a name and a possible location, Emery heads west, where she meets Ryan Phillips in an accidental encounter that leads to a night of the hottest sex she's ever had. Ryan joins her search, and a summer of stolen kisses and steamy passion slowly turns into much more as a fragile bond of trust develops.

All Ryan wants is to get his late mother’s estate squared away before he leaves for medical school, but even the best laid plans have a way of veering off track. His mother's cryptic words won’t leave him alone: I should have told you…things you need to know. And there’s Emery, who stumbles into his room, rocks his world and steals his heart. When he finally unlocks the mystery of his past, will it mean a happy future for him and Emery? Or will they end up losing it all?
