Jake is the bad boy, with a bad temper.
Hope is the sweet, generous girl with a past she'd rather forget.
After they both lose a great friend, they're thrown together in new ways they'd never expected.
A simmering attraction gets turned up, but when Jake discovers that Hope is in serious danger, he will stop at nothing to protect her.

She wants to be strong, she needs to be independent.

He wants to shield, he needs her to need him.

How will these two find their way?
