Eight years ago, Baine Landry was just a boy, wrapped up in the intoxicating allure of his best friend's younger sister, Olivia. Their love was a secret, a forbidden passion that left them helpless against its pull. Despite the five-year age difference, Baine naively believed that Olivia's family would accept their relationship as she approached adulthood. Oh, how wrong he was. His biggest regret in life was confiding in Olivia's brother, betraying the trust that had blossomed between them.
But life goes on, and today Baine is a fiercely attractive, explosive-loving bear shifter who thrives as part of the Westin Force Bravo team. By day, he flashes smiles and cracks jokes to hide the lingering pain in his heart. But by night, Olivia still invades his every dream, a constant reminder of what he lost all those years ago.
As for Olivia, she has only ever loved one man - Baine. Her heart has remained steadfast, even in his absence. When he disappeared without a word eight years ago, her father claimed he had chosen to leave. But Olivia knew deep down that something wasn't right. There was a secret she never got the chance to share with him, a burden she carried alone.
The past cannot be rewritten, but destiny has other plans when a new mission to save their Clan from a dangerous Raglan threat brings Baine back to town. In his return, he realizes that he left behind more than he could have ever imagined. However, their reunion is far from smooth sailing. Obstacles still litter their path, threatening to extinguish the spark of their second chance at love.
