Guilt now rules Dillon Kane’s life. He’s the one who should have died, not his father’s favorite son. Plus, he carries added guilt of silently watching his brother live a lie with the one woman Dillon could never forget. Lauren Kane. Her attraction to and dependence on Dillon during her marriage still haunts her long after her husband’s tragic death, especially since her biggest wish was that her husband could be more like his brother, Dillon. Facing the man after more than ten years is the last thing Lauren wants to do.
Yet when Lauren and her son are threatened, Dillon pushes his way into her life to protect them. As he tries to figure out the mystery of who and why, Lauren and Dillon’s earlier attraction resurfaces. At this point, neither can ignore their actions of the past.
I liked this story, it had family drama a plenty. Years of lies hidden, to protect an image that wasn't real. Everyday people, okay RICH and Powerful people with relationship problems and misunderstandings. Evil plots coming from several directions. The more you dug into the story the more evil people you found. One really nasty step-mother, that really lived up to the belief that all step-mothers were hateful. (We know its not always the truth, but boy did Sophie work it). I think this author did a good job when it came to the present things Dillon and Lauren and even her son DJ were dealing with. Kicker also had to face some things and had to see some painful truths. He was wrong about a lot of things. I liked Kicker's youngest son too; I think Rory was meant to be seen as strong, likable, fair young man, wanting his family back together. That really did come across. The past, was something that had to be dealt with as well, because there were mysteries that still existed and were affecting the present. It was good to see Dillon and Lauren stop running from each other, and I liked their romance. There was a lot of anger, fire and attraction between them; but it wasn't the only part of the story of course.
