But the closer Tai gets to Piper, the closer he comes to conceding a third.Through Tai, Piper discovers a world she knew nothing about - a damaged and ostracized community in need of a voice. But the more Piper wants to help them, the more Tai understands that to love Piper is to turn his back on his people. Will Tai reject the one woman who's ever understood him?
