Army veteran Haley Savino, ran from the west coast to avoid her monsters. The man who hurt her may not have followed, but the haunting memories did. PTSD from the trauma of her stepfather left her turning to alcohol to numb her pain. She's only ever known that men can't be trusted.
When Cal busted through her world, she struggled to find meaning in the new attraction.
Callum Murphy, heir to the Boston Irish Mafia, never expected to find a woman he loved.
When Haley entered his bar for a birthday bash, he knew he couldn't let her go. The sadness in her eyes drew him to her, but the challenge of breaking down her walls is exactly what he was missing in his life.
Can Haley finally trust a man with her heart? And can Cal be the one, even though he is the worst monster of all?
