(CAN NOT BE READ AS A STAND ALONE! You must read the first book for this one to make sense.) 

They say you never know the value of something until it's gone. 

When Wes returns from London, Molly must comprehend where they stand, who they are, and how to come to terms with her true feelings. 

Wes hides himself and displays his new persona, but is it strong enough to keep the truth hidden? Is it strong enough to hold the secrets, lies, and past hidden from the people he cares for most? 

As the two build a wall between them once again, can they learn to tear down the bricks and find each other again? Can they become what they once were, or delve into something deeper? Will they be able to admit the truth to not only each other, but themselves? 

Continue following their journey in the second installment of the Close As Trilogy: Close As Strangers.
