Can a broken heart fall in love again?

Devastated by a difficult break-up, Aiden Hayes has lost his zest for life. He withdraws, pushing away all his friends and family, becoming a shadow of his former self. That is, until he meets Iris Walker, his new neighbor—a true ray of sunshine who bursts into his life. Aiden finds it impossible to look away from her.

Radiant and full of life, Iris is the exact opposite of Aiden. Moving to San Francisco, she is intrigued by her lonely and tormented neighbor. Iris is convinced that beneath Aiden’s thick armor lies a more luminous side of his personality that she is eager to discover.

Though Aiden vowed never to feel anything again, Iris managed to ignite a spark in him that he thought was extinguished forever. From their unlikely meeting, powerful feelings emerge. But will Aiden be able to rebuild himself and get closer to Iris without getting burned?
