As old desire burns hotter and buried secrets begin to surface, Aria must choose between protecting the man she once sacrificed everything to save and finally telling him the truth. But Alexander has secrets of his own. And when he discovers why she really left him, their second chance at love may come at a price neither of them is prepared to pay. She broke his heart once. This time, he intends to claim it back.
