An honest and tender novel that ends here, guard forever
Lily hasn't always been easy, but that has never stopped her from working hard for the life she wants. I've come a long way from the small town I grew up in - I graduated from college, moved to Boston, and started my own business. And when she gets the spark with a wonderful neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, everything in Lily's life seems too good to be true. Rael is assertive, stubborn, and perhaps a bit conceited. It's also fluffy and adorable and has a perfectly soft spot for Lily. And the way the scrubs look definitely doesn't hurt. Lily can't get it out of her head. But Rael's utter aversion to relationships is troubling. Even when Lily finds herself an exception to the "not dating" rule, she can't help but wonder what made him that way in the first place. As she is overwhelmed by questions about her new relationship, she is also overwhelmed by Atlas Corrigan's thoughts - her first love and a link to the past she left behind. He was her good spirit, her protector. When Atlas appears again, everything Lily has built with Ryle is threatened.
