When Olivia
Mason catches her fiancé cheating her life gets turned upside down. With no
family and no real place to call home, she heads south for a fresh start in
Charleston, South Carolina. Determined to gain her own independence and protect
her heart, the last thing she needs is a sexy, tattoo-covered guy to cross her
path and test her resolve. Just as she’s beginning to put her life back
together, she uncovers a piece of her past that shakes up everything.
Dex Porter has his own demons. A former Marine, he’s haunted by the past and uses whiskey, women and fighting to drown the pain and guilt that consume him. When Olivia arrives in town, he finds himself drawn to her immediately and is surprised by his desire to get to know her. She’s unlike anyone he’s ever met but he knows he can’t get close to her without exposing the part of himself that he keeps hidden.
As Dex and Olivia strike up a friendship and fight their attraction to one another, they begin to chip away each other’s walls and help each other heal. However, the past is never far behind and they soon learn that no matter how fast they run, it will always catch up with them.

Even if I wanted to be in a
relationship, which I really didn’t, I couldn’t subject someone to being with me. I was in no shape to be close with
anyone that way, and I’d learned a while back that I was not someone who could
be relied upon. Keeping women at arm’s length was as much for their benefit as
it was for mine. After everything I’d done, I didn’t deserve anyone who was
worth having, and I sure as hell didn’t deserve to be happy. All I would do is
fuck it up like I’d managed to do with everything else I cared about.
It was better not to care. To be numb. Sure, I used women, but they used
me too. It wasn’t like they gave a shit about me. They wanted the same thing
that I did. To chase away the pain. To forget.
Even if it was only for a little while.
