Over a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in the second grade, I gave Wren Tyler my heart.

Years later, I finally have a shot at the woman who’s always felt like home.

Accidentally locked inside a dark gymnasium overnight, with nothing but whispered confessions and shared memories, the distance between us disappears.

I want nothing more than a future with Wren — but the moment those doors open, reality hits hard.

My ex-fiancée was never the forgiving type.

Already tangled in a bitter battle for my business, she’s set her sights on the woman I love.

Her threats cast long shadows over this fragile thing Wren and I are building.

And as each malicious lie chips away at our newfound happiness, I can’t shake the fear that, instead of weathering the storm…

Wren might just decide I'm not worth the risk.
