Jill won't let anyone in-but Nash won't let her keep him out forever. "You throw me to the ground? I'll get back up. You lock me out? I'll be waiting. And, after it all? I'll order us a pizza." Life with PTSD means that Jill Rogers likes things simple and predictable. A thriving career as an ER nurse lets her focus on the most important things in life-and helps her push through the haunting fear and frequent panic attacks that have tortured her since the attack she was lucky to survive. Jill has three deadbolts on her door, well honed self-defense skills, and she knows how to cope with the panic that often leaves her paralyzed with fear, lost in a sea of terrifying memories. Her life may not be a lot of fun, but it's safe. And when Nash, her summer love from a decade ago turns up in her ER, now a handsome, broad-shouldered fireman, everything inside Jill tells her to run-despite her yearning for him. No matter how often she's dreamed of that magical lost summer, she knows life can't ever be like that again-she'll never again be the free-spirited, hopeful girl he loved so long ago. All she can do is push him away before things fall apart. But Nash, whose sexy grin and playful banter mask his own pain, isn't about to be pushed away. Not when he's found the love of his life all over again. But when a shocking betrayal shakes the ground under Jill's feet and her ghosts return to haunt them, will Nash's love be enough to help her find her next breath of hope?
