Losing her sight ended Miranda Hernandez’s Marine Corps career, but she’s determined not to lose her independence as well. With her guide dog, Sam, by her side, she’s taking the first steps toward a new life. But there’s one last mission to complete before she can put her past—and guilt—to rest. She has no time for the velvety-voiced neighbor who keeps showing up at her door. And in her dreams.

FDNY firefighter Ben Murphy has a reputation for keeping things casual in the bedroom, and his heart out of reach. But there’s something about Miranda that makes him want more than another temporary fling. Despite her blindness, she sees him more clearly than anyone ever has before...including himself. And for the first time, he wonders if he could truly be enough for a woman to love.

But when a well-intentioned white lie spirals into a firestorm of doubt and betrayal, can they each find the courage to face their deepest fears, or will the wounds of the past prove too deep for even love to heal?
