Lincoln
I had my chance at love and I threw it away. I don’t deserve another. I’ve dedicated my entire life to my community. There’s no time for anything else.

But then I met her. Ciara Jeffries is everything I told myself I didn’t want but she might be everything I need. If I can just hold on to her.

Ciara
If I don’t get out of this town I’ll lose my sanity, my loved ones, and my life. I need a fresh start and Austin, Texas feels like as good a place as any.

I wasn’t supposed to build connections and I definitely wasn’t supposed to fall in love. Lincoln Cole has other plans for me. He has me breaking all my rules and I feel safe in his arms.

But safety is a luxury I don’t have. I thought I ran far enough but my past will never let me go and my recklessness may just get Lincoln burned.
