Andrew Reid once believed in forever.
He had it all mapped out -- duty, devotion, a woman waiting at the end of four years. But when his future crumbled, the boy who believed in happy endings died in the wreckage. In his place rose Ace -- hardened Marine, elite scout sniper, and now the magnetic bass player for the hottest band on the rise. He's rebuilt his life on discipline, desire, and the unshakable rule that he will never be fooled again.
Sadie Pierce once risked everything for love.
Losing him shattered more than her heart; it fractured her faith in forever. Now she guards what's left of herself behind quiet strength and careful distance, determined never to feel that kind of devastation again. Loving once nearly destroyed her. She won't survive it twice.
When a near tragedy collides their worlds, the connection between Ace and Sadie is instant, raw, electric, and impossible to ignore. He sees the fire she tries to hide behind guarded green eyes. With him, she feels something she hasn't in years.
Alive.
But the past isn't just a memory.
And it refuses to stay buried.
Old betrayals. Old grief. The shadows of the people they used to be linger between them, whispering doubts in the dark. Sadie refuses to be another conquest for a notorious rock star. And Ace refuses to walk away from the one woman who makes him want to believe in something real again.
Desire is easy. Trust is dangerous.
Especially when someone out there will do anything to ensure their story ends in heartbreak.
Again.
As passion ignites and walls begin to crumble, Andrew and Sadie must decide if they're strong enough to face the ghosts that won't stay dead, or if the weight of yesterday will steal their chance at ever after.
Book 2 in the Ever After Series. Can be read as a standalone, but will be more enjoyable in order.
