In all his life, he's only had one love, and he has sacrificed his own happiness to see his best friend reunited with the woman he loves. But now that his good deed is done, he feels lost and adrift.

Badly hurt by everyone he's ever known, he trusts no one except his own best friend. And honestly, he can't understand why he trusts her. Nor can he believe her when she describes a loyalty between friends the likes of which he's never seen.But when Ture is in his darkest hour, he's saved by a hero he thought only existed in novels.

Still, there is something about Ture he can't resist. Something that won't let him walk away when he knows he should.But when old enemies return to threaten them both, they either have to stand together or die alone.
