Deception & Daylight (Oak Ridge #3)

I never intended to be back in Miles Barlows orbit. Not after everything that happened between us two years ago. I thought I had it all figured out-he was just another guy who couldnt handle the mess of my life. But when push comes to shove, I find myself running to Oak Ridge, Kentucky and straight into the arms of the man I despise.

Hes the last person I want to turn to. But Im out of options, and I dont have the strength to keep pretending Im fine. So, we strike a deal: well fake a relationship while I try to heal. But I cant trust him. Not after what he did.

Im here to heal, but not to stay. Oak Ridge is just another stop in my constant search for something-anything-that feels like home. And even if hes every bit as infuriating and irresistible as I remember, I wont let him close again. But the more time we spend together, the harder it gets to keep pretending, and the more I realize　maybe I dont hate him as much as I thought.
