It all started in a bookstore. Arianna Calista needed a part time job, but she never imagined something so simple would lead to much more than just some extra money in her pocket. The one thing she didn’t plan on was meeting the assistant manager and discovering the intense hostility he had towards her. She was determined to understand mysterious Landon West, but falling for him was never in the job description.
While the store manager may like Arianna, she quickly learns that Landon clearly loathes her. Arianna finds herself in a quandary while trying to discover the reasons for Landon’s cold and unfriendly behavior. As co-workers, they form a twisted bond enveloping sarcasm, sexual tension and physical attraction. When their professional relationship becomes a personal one, they find themselves even more drawn to one another.
With a troubled past Arianna is desperate to understand, Landon constantly struggles to cope with his fear of attachment. Can he allow himself to trust her, or will he be destined to continue and live out the rest of his life alone? Arianna has never felt more determined to prove herself worthy of that trust, hoping with time that Landon eventually reveals his secrets. She is adamant to show her commitment. But things don’t always go as planned when a visit to her hometown leaves Arianna with a suspicious, uneasy feeling that her mother is hiding something that could ultimately cost Arianna everything.
