About the book

They'd grown up as family, although there were no blood ties between them. Kathryn and Wade had always shared an emotional kinship that grew more intense with each passing year. An affinity that grew into passion...

But because the family's approval was important to them both--and because she was older than Wade--Kathryn had decided to end her relationship with him completely. That was five years ago.

Now, at her family's insistence, Kathryn had come home, with a failed marriage behind her. Despite everything, her love for Wade hadn't changed. How could she survive being close to him again?
