Jenna Lindon had everything, well, almost. She had an amazing career working for one of the most successful publishing houses on the west coast of America. She had her own house and a nice car. She worked hard, enjoyed her free time and appeared content. It had taken her a long time to get where she was after almost being emotionally destroyed, she was where she needed to be. During a storm on a sticky June night, her phone woke her, a voice from a time better best forgotten sent shivers down her spine. Cain Macalister, her ex-boyfriend's son, needed her help. Dragging her from her bed, she helps him just as she did when he was a drunk teenager because his father simply didn't seem to care about him. Once again he was stuck with no one to help. Discovering the truth about his life, and how messed up he is, she opens up her home and her heart. Knowing this would upset her ex, she risked everything to help Cain with a home, a step in the right direction. She wasn't prepared for the implications of taking him in, she certainly didn't expect him to change her life the way he did. She felt that it was wrong, Cain was now a twenty-five-year-old man with his own dreams and his own mind. Estranged from his father and a man who just needs to be loved, he tells her how he feels and it opens up a whole new can of worms. Should she take a bite of this forbidden fruit, or should she deny her heart for the sake of someone who never even gave her a second thought?
