Susanna Wright is on the run and she has three goals: to be a strong woman dependent on no one, to make a new life for herself and her infant daughter, and to stay far away from her stalker ex-husband and any other man who might pose a threat to her plans. So when her car breaks down and she is forced to ask lone wolf Brady Malone for help, that doesn't sit well with her.
As for Brady, he has a dark past and has chosen a solitary existence, which is how his world will always have to be. The last thing he wants is to let this compelling woman and her infant daughter anywhere near him. And yet, as circumstances throw Brady and Susanna together and they circle around each other, sparks fly and hearts are at risk.
