    Summary

    Scarlett Atkins is running for her life. Dean Maddox is running from his past.

    She arrived in Silver Creek with a suitcase, a map and a desperate need to disappear. She is trying to escape a man who turned her world into a prison. She needs safety. She needs invisibility.

    She didn't plan on Dean.

    He is the town outcast. Ex-military, ex-gang and entirely closed off. He is the man mothers warn their daughters about. He is rude, abrasive and wants nothing more than to be left alone with his guilt.

    But trouble always finds trouble.

    They clash instantly. He hates the noise she brings to his quiet life. She hates the way he looks at her like he sees right through her walls.

    But when the danger Scarlett fled tracks her down, the line between enemy and protector begins to blur. Dean has to decide if he is the monster everyone thinks he is or the savior she needs.

    Sometimes the safest place to be is with the most dangerous man in the room.
