The scars he carries are more than skin deep, and in his mind, protecting her means sacrificing himself. But Orchid has already made her choice. Ready to forgive, she reaches for the man she loves, determined to prove that her heart is stronger than his fears. Rebuilding their intimacy will take patience and courage, but their love has survived before, and she believes it can again.
