Sometimes, the people who love you the most hurt you the most.
Lily's life wasn't always easy, but that never stopped her from working hard and pursuing the life she wanted. She had come a long way from the small town in Maine where she grew up—after college, she moved to Boston to start her own business. So when she strikes up a spark with a beautiful neurosurgeon named Lyle Kincaid, everything in Lily's life suddenly seems almost too good to be true.
Lyle is confident, stubborn, and even a little arrogant. He is also sensitive, intelligent, and has a soft spot for Lily. The way he looks in surgical scrubs certainly doesn't make anyone uncomfortable. Lily couldn't forget him. But Lyle's complete aversion to romance is disturbing. Even though Lily finds herself the exception to his "no date" rule, she can't help but wonder what made him like this.
As questions about her new relationship begin to plague her, she also begins to miss Atlas Corrigan, her first love and her link to the past. He was her confidant and her protector. When Atlas suddenly reappears, everything Lily and Ryle have built is threatened.
