Those eyes, those lips, that body...Kassidy Marshall has always been that perfect picture of cool, calm and in control, always in control; until she meets the best man, Ryan Davis (or as his friends call him just Davis).

Will she be able to resist him or will she fall for the best man? He can only hope.

He holds my heart. He makes me feel safer than I ever have. He's shown me what love really is. Dash Ford, lead singer of Redemption, is my light in the dark. I can't imagine my world without him. I want him to be my future. But, my past has caught up with me, reminding me of who I was. Of who I still am. A woman that will never be enough for a man like Dash. A woman who doesn't fit into his world. A woman too broken--still. I'm afraid that no matter what happens, no matter what decisions I have to make, there truly is only one outcome. Either way--Can I truly face my past? Will I be strong enough? Can his light be my salvation? But most of all, when all is decided--Will I survive?

He holds me captive with his brilliant blue eyes. His crooked smile melts me every time. His voice wraps around me when he sings. His words break through and dive straight to my heart. Dash Ford, lead singer of Redemption, is unlike any man I've ever met and I'm drawn to not only his lyrics but the man behind the voice. But I am broken-beyond broken. I had no intention of falling for him. But when we met, I had no other option. With him, I embrace the present while trying to put my past behind me. I find myself in a world I never expected, a world I'm not entirely sure I can handle. Am I strong enough? Will I be enough for a man who has everything? Can I finally let go and give into the love I've wanted my whole life? Or will my past forever define and haunt me, keeping me from all I desire? Intended for mature audiences 18+ WARNING--this is book one in the series and ends in a cliffhanger.
