How can he show the vulnerable beauty that some men are worth letting your guard down for? Veronica returned to her hometown seeking shelter for her shattered spirit. The last thing she needs is a blue-eyed charmer who makes her want to drop her defenses. Then she discovers Trent isn't just another admirer-he's the one man who knows her deepest secrets.
