He spent his childhood being told he wasn't wanted…

Deacon Kennedy may be a respected detective now, but as a child he knew nothing but harsh words and was made to feel like a burden by his parents. Once he freed himself from that life, Deacon was hesitant to allow anyone in, fearful of the DNA running through his veins. That doesn't stop the yearning for more though after his best friend finds happiness. When a beautiful woman enters the police department, the same day he turns in his letter of resignation, he knows he'll do everything to protect her, including delaying his own plans to keep her safe, and have the chance to show her they belong together.

She's always preferred reading fairy tales to living her reality…

Aside from her parents, Leah Taylor has felt as if she's on the outside looking in her entire life. Her shyness led her classmates to tease her and her intelligence caused them to use her. After tragically losing her mother years before, she's recently gained a stepmother and stepbrother, while the former demeans her, the latter makes her uncomfortable. When Leah begins to feel as if she's in danger, she knows she needs help. She gets far more than she bargained when she meets the sexy detective assigned her case.

A love that was always meant to be…

While falling in love, Deacon and Leah work to uncover who's behind the threat surrounding her. But fate doesn't always win, and their fairy tale soon becomes a nightmare as they discover memories can be lethal because there are some things you can never forget.
