Years ago, Levi Cooper broke Dani Davis's heart to protect her from secrets he couldn't share. Now, they're both back in their small hometown of Gladewater, Texas-Levi to take care of the struggling family farm, and Dani to nurse her beloved aunt through an illness.

Can these three couples overcome their pasts, trust in each other, and find the courage to fight for the love they deserve? Welcome to Gladewater, where second chances are just the beginning.
"Levi, please!" Dani begged from the front seat of his truck. "Talk to me. It can't be that bad. If you'll just tell me what happened, I know we can work it out!"
She was met with stony silence and a hard set to his face that she didn't recognize. She reached up to turn that face to her, to get him to meet her eyes. She gasped when she saw the look in them. Completely dead. No emotion at all. She couldn't imagine what had happened to strip the life from those normally lively blue eyes that she loved. She couldn't conceive of something that bad.
Levi jerked his chin away from her grasp. He stared off into the middle distance, seeing nothing. "No, Dani, I told you, we can't be together anymore," his voice had a rough, raw quality to it that was foreign to her ears. "I'm nothing but trouble. I'll just bring you down."
"No! I love you. You can't mean this – I know something has happened! You can tell me anything and I'll love you just the same. Please, what is it?" Dani cried desperately, begging him to not shut her out.
Levi set his jaw and jerked his head no. He had to be strong. He had to break it off...for her. He knew she couldn't understand why he was doing this. They were supposed to be together forever, but he couldn't embroil her in his mess. He had to protect her. He reached over her lap, through her grasping hands, and opened the truck door without looking her in the face. "Goodbye, Dani."
Dani started to grab the door and pull it shut again but then she looked toward the house. She saw her aunt and uncle on the front porch, Uncle E's arm around her aunt. Aunt Lu looked worried, her eyes round and her hands clasped in front of her but Uncle E looked like he might go get his shotgun. His brows were pulled low and his mouth formed a deep frown. They had apparently heard her crying and yelling. She didn't want to bring them into this. With tears streaming down her face, she finally slid from the truck and closed the door. She stood on the sidewalk, her chest heaving in silent sobs as Levi stepped on the gas and rumbled down the road away from her. He never looked back. He couldn't. His heart was already being ripped from his chest.

"You're a creepy bastard." His eyes smolder me and his answering grin is nothing short of beautiful. Deadly. "Yet you hunger for me. Tell me, this appetite of yours, does it always tend toward 'creepy bastards'?" **** Widower and ex-boss to the Mafia, Zefiro Della Rocca, has an unhealthy fixation on the woman nextdoor. It began as a coincidence, growing into mere curiosity, and soon, it was an itch he couldn't ignore, like a quick fix of crack for an addict. He didn't know her name, but he knew every inch of her skin, how it flushed when she climaxed, her favourite novel and that every night she contemplated suicide. He didn't want to care, despising his rapt fascination of the woman. She was in love with her abusive husband. She was married, bound by a contract to the Bratva's hitman. She was off-limits. But when Zefiro wanted something, it was with an intensity that bordered on madness. He obsessed, possessed, owned. There'd be bloodshed if he touched her, but the sight of blood always did fascinate him. * When Susanna flees from her husband, she stumbles right into the arms of her devilishly handsome neighbour with a brooding glare.

She should have recalled that before hopping into Zefiro's car and letting him whisk her away to Italy. Maybe then, she wouldn't have started an affair with him. He was the only man who touched her right, and the crazy man took no small pains in ensuring he would be the last.
