Aidan Lucian & Lia/Pierced

Aidan Spencer walked away from his family and his friends when the woman he'd loved since childhood died while attempting to kill his best friends wife. Aidan had chosen to save another and in doing so had lost Cassie. For over a year, he's been isolated from everyone he loves until a family emergency brings him back home. When he meets a woman along the way whose problems are more dire than his own, he must decide if he's strong enough to fight for the woman he's falling in love with knowing there's no promise of a tomorrow for them.
