The man who broke my heart ten years ago is back in our small town.
Adam Ducate. My best friend since birth. His gorgeous blue eyes made him the object of every girl’s fantasy in our entire school. But it wasn’t just his perfect looks.
He read biographies on the US presidents for fun. He could count to 100 in seven different languages. He liked George Romero movies and could recite all the dialogue from Day of the Dead. In short, Adam was everything every other boy in our grade wasn’t. So I took the risk and confessed my feelings to him. Of course, it all crashed and burned in extraordinary fashion. It crushed my heart when he left my life without a word and married Chelsea instead. But now he’s back. And as much as I want to ignore the butterflies in my stomach, I can’t. They say second chances don’t come around often. But can I trust that Adam will stay with me this time – or will our past keep me running?

About the author
Sarah J. Brooks
Saint writes dark romance for readers who crave danger, obsession, and love that walks the edge of ruin. Their stories feature morally gray characters, forbidden desires, and the thin line between devotion and destruction. In Saint’s world, villains get the girl, heroes have secrets, and nothing about love is safe. Power, revenge, and passion collide in stories where the stakes are high and emotions run even higher. Expect dangerous men, fierce women, and love stories that burn bright in the darkness.View all by Sarah J. Brooks
