He held her through her darkest moments, caught her tears on capable shoulders, but one thing kept them apart.

At twenty-six, Katie McGregor has hit rock bottom. She's done reckless things a good girl like her never thought she'd do. Like hiring a private investigator to spy on her sleazy boyfriend, walking out on her job without notice, and going home to the one man who'd never left her thoughts.
Jake Johnson. Her brother's best friend. The one whose glance made her pulse race, whose touch made her knees weak—and whose words broke her heart.
Three years ago, both reeling from a hurt bigger than either one could handle, they moved apart and retreated into their careers. Now, Jake has it all, and Katie has... nothing but memories.
Katie is thrilled when Jake welcomes her into his home with open arms and the same sexy smile. But is he the same jock who doesn't do relationships and treated her like a little sister? And with so much between them, can they overcome the hurts from the past to ignite a love that perhaps has smoldered all along?
