Some loves never leave. They just wait for the right time.
Liora Becker has spent her life saving others.
At thirty-five, she's a homicide detective with the LAPD, living in Los Angeles and chasing criminals through a city that never sleeps. Beautiful, stubborn, and fiercely independent, Liora has learned to keep her heart guarded. She's good at reading people, finding the truth, and facing danger head-on. But when it comes to love, she's not sure she has the courage to risk getting hurt again.
Thousands of miles away, Damian Moore has become the man he always wanted to be.
At twenty-eight, he's a third-year resident trauma surgeon in Minnesota. Mature, intelligent, and devoted to saving lives, Damian seems to have everything under control. Everything, that is, except the one feeling he's carried since childhood.
Liora was fourteen when she first found seven-year-old Damian crying in the snow. To her, he was the sweet little boy next door, the kid who followed her everywhere and promised to protect her when he grew up.
To Damian, she was everything.
As the years passed, his innocent admiration became a love he could never confess. He watched her grow up, fall in love, and choose a future that didn't include him. When she announced her engagement, Damian finally walked away, leaving Minnesota and the girl he had loved for most of his life behind.
They lost contact. Years passed. Life moved on.
Until fate decided they weren't finished with each other.
When a dangerous case in Los Angeles leaves Liora fighting for her life, she finds herself back in Minnesota, where the past she thought she'd left behind is waiting for her.
