Despite their childhood friendship and young adulthood romance, Joseph Dalecki and Paxton Steele have found themselves living separate lives. While often blessed with incredible chemistry, Joseph’s secrecy often drove a distance between them that eventually became too much to overcome. Though their separation was difficult, time eventually passed and now they both have found love with other people. With new loves’ each found new happiness, but their connection to each other, a soul bond that one no one else seems to understand, continues to draw them to together. Even with a new lover Paxton Steele finds herself conflicted. Joseph has caused her so much pain and even though his intentions seemed noble, he has endangered her life time and time again. She wants to trust him again, but will doing so make her a fool? Or worse … dead? After her rescue from being kidnapped, Paxton’s rising concerns for her own safety finally compelled her to close the doors to her business. A business that had been built from the ground up to be one of the most successful businesses on the historic center of Bisbee. Only the hope of some miraculous resurrection remains of the iconic and beloved “Brickstone Antique & Art Gallery”. While Paxton deals with her problems, Joseph must deal with some of his own. With a heavy heart, Joseph recently gave up his dream career with the FBI. A choice made more difficult by that fact that it was a job that had proved instrumental to his own protection and that of his family … and his family’s business. Perhaps the recent kidnapping of Paxton awakened a calling far greater than his personal safety. Justice is due in Bisbee and the FBI have failed. All other options have been exhausted. If justice is to come … it will have to be the Dalecki way. Joseph knows that his secrecy has pushed Paxton away, but he is certain that exposing his secrets would only put an end to all that they have left together. But considering what is to come, having a choice may no longer be a luxury that he has. He must prepare for what he needs to do … for himself … for Paxton.
