Max Carter has spent his life hiding a heart scarred by betrayal. Cold, calculating, and dangerously charming, he believes love is a luxury reserved for the naïve… until he crosses paths with Sam, a quiet, fierce-spirited woman who has survived more storms than she admits. Sam wants nothing to do with men like Max—men who look at her as though they can see through her walls. But her past returns with a vengeance in the form of Ryan, Max’s estranged brother, whose obsession with her isn’t affection… it’s possession. Caught between two brothers with a history soaked in secrets, Sam becomes the spark in a rivalry that threatens to burn everything down. Max wants to protect her. Ryan wants to claim her. Sam just wants to survive. But fate is cruel. And when love demands loyalty, someone will be forced to break.
