Can an Aeon struggling to outrun her dark past and a man who doesn't like to get in find true love?
An Aeon by birth, Diane Butler knew when she walked away from fellow descendants of Atlantis that she wanted certain things: wealth, power, acceptance. But she’d come to realize she didn’t belong with Dark Sides, despite its benefits, and had a change of heart, joining the Aeons to save the City of Auralia from darkness. Now that the lengthy battle is over, she’s adopted her middle name, Cassie, and has put the past behind her. But when her past comes after her, she understands that she can’t escape it or her loneliness with a simple name change.
A surprise encounter that turns ugly pits loner Emmett Forrest against thugs determined to hurt Cassie. Typically, he doesn’t like getting involved, but for guys who hurt women, he has nothing but disdain. With each one out cold on the ground, he believes he’s done. But when the men report the incident to the Auralia Police Department, he can’t avoid the drama surrounding Cassie, or the intrigue.
