When a local bad boy asks for love from the town good girl, she sets out to show him love will make life worth living.

Claudia might have forgotten Toby Faye, once a moody kid who sat in the back of class, if it weren’t for the tragic events surrounding his family. In their small town, the Faye name was infamous.

When a job offer throws Claudia into Toby’s world and that of his widowed mother, she struggles to ignore a growing attraction to the darkly mysterious mass of muscles and head-turning man that Toby has become. Despite Claudia’s attempt to stay away from the trouble that surrounds Toby, his blue-gray eyes expose a need her heart cannot ignore.
