Ever since her ex-turned-stalker, Troy, nearly killed a fellow medical resident in a fit of misplaced rage and went into hiding, Shelby Ahrens has been waiting for the other shoe to drop. Reeling from the recent death of her parents, she returns to her hometown of Glendale, Arizona, and suffers another shock: a half-brother she's never met.

Greer Myers knows he's a lucky man. The love of his adoptive parents, Artie and Della Myers, saved him from a bleak future. When he discovers a raggedy twelve-year-old squatting in a home under construction, he pays that salvation forward, taking the kid under his wing and into the Myers family.

Life is good for Greer and his adopted son, Chance, until a sexy strawberry blonde strolls into his office and drops a bombshell. She's Chance's older sister, and she's not leaving until she meets him.

Protecting Chance is Greer's top priority. If Chance's sister is anything like his mother, there's no way he's letting her near him. Chance, however, bonds with Shelby almost instantly. Forced to interact with her for Chance's sake, Greer battles an inexplicably fierce attraction to her. Shelby, meanwhile, tries and fails to resist her growing desire for Chance's handsome father.

Pulled into a web of danger as Troy subtly taunts her, unseen and uncaptured, Shelby distances herself from them. As the game of cat-and-mouse escalates, Shelby is determined to protect those she loves, even if it means icing Greer out and avoiding Chance. As Troy continues to evade police, Greer's patience with Shelby's arm's-length treatment reaches its breaking point.

Shelby realizes to keep her two favorite guys safe, she's going to have to take matters into her own hands.

Will she live to love them? Or will she make the ultimate sacrifice for love?
