With so much change coming his way, and so many emotional scars to overcome, is he as ready for a happily ever after with Emily as he thought he was?
Emily Carmichael is struggling. Sheâs doing everything she can to recover from her physical and psychological wounds, but no matter what she does, she canât shake her anxiety.

When their demons (both past and present) threaten to destroy what theyâve worked so hard to build, will Ryan and Emily cling to eachâand love? Or will dangerous Lies destroy their second chance at true happiness?Â
