Synopsis

A chance meeting with a stranger is not her finest moment…

With a brand new college degree in hand, Annalise Walker should be ready to soar. Instead, she finds herself far down a road she never thought she’d travel, thanks to a neglected faith and a series of poor choices—including striking up a conversation with the super handsome man she meets at a low point. Making matters worse, right when she thinks she’s hit rock bottom, the bottom falls out of her world. God’s forgiveness isn’t in doubt, but her annoying older brother and hovering family are more than she’s willing to face just yet.

Could he be just the hero she needs?

Freewheeling undercover drug agent Marco Gonzalez lives life on his own terms—and that’s just the way he likes it. But an on-the-job mistake may cost him his career, and possibly even more. Meeting Annalise Walker is about to cost him his peace. Viewing the world through her eyes amounts to having a giant mirror shoved in his face, and what he finds there isn’t pretty. Worse, their association may cost him his best friend.

When circumstances conspire and worlds collide, Annalise struggles to return to her foundation, while Marco finds his dissolving under his feet. As truths are revealed, will they be torn apart, or will they find healing and a future—together?
