title: Back to Life
author: George, Mellie
description: Rory Shaw has spent the past four years struggling to come to terms with her fiancé's sudden violent death and had forgotten how to live. She went through life a virtual zombie and had fallen into a robotic daily rhythm that allowed herself to numb to the pain of a terrible loss and shot down anyone that tried to get her to move on and meet someone new. Liam Tanner has just returned to New York after being away for more than a decade after a huge falling out with his rich, high society family. He has a job working as a homicide detective with his best friend as a partner, a great new studio apartment in Greenwich Village, and no needy woman around to complicate his life. He thought his life was just great...until he met a certain redheaded tattooed bombshell. Will Rory and Liam find happiness and be able to move forward together, or will the ghosts of Rory's tragic past come back and end their love for good?
