It should have been me.

Those words have haunted Wesley Kade every day since a tragic accident changed his life forever. North Carolina was supposed to be his fresh start. He has a new job and new condo in the heart of downtown Charlotte, North Carolina. All his broken pieces are starting to mend themselves back together and when a chance run in introduces him to his attractive new neighbor, Rylan, he finds a glimmer of hope in his ability to love again. But does he deserve it after what he did?

Rylan Bradley hasn’t exactly been lucky in love and her walls are built up like a fortress. But when she meets Kade, there’s something about him that makes her want to tear down every last one of them. She can see it though. He has secrets. There’s a past that haunts him. Rylan knows if she lets him in, this could be a tragic heartbreak waiting to happen. But she can’t help but wonder if maybe, just maybe, she can be the one to save him.
