Publisher's Synopsis
For a man who thought he had everything, Trace Jacks sure had nothing now. After one letter blows his life apart, Trace is clueless how he can move on. He stumbles through the days, never accepting the grief that flows within him, and finding it easier to bury his loss. To him, if he doesn't think about it, then it never happened. Burying the hurt, he continues with his new life. Hiding from the truth becomes a lot easier after he takes his niece to her dance class, striking up an interesting conversation with her teacher. Shae Bennett is happy to keep things fun, enjoying Trace's seduction and his spontaneity. She's reluctant to get serious with anyone; she has enough going on in her life. With him she can forget about her concerns for her mom, her tumultuous relationship with her father, and stress of running the dance studio. With him she can be herself, and it becomes all-consuming. When the fun begins to slip, when reality starts to encroach in the worst possible way, their relationship unravels at an alarming speed. Neither one is willing to end what they've come to need so deeply, but each of them has issues that can only be dealt with alone. Can Trace and Shae unhook the chains that hold them back? Is their newfound love strong enough to battle back to one another?
