Seven years ago, Allysa Merrils lost the love of her life. She thought Andrew James Patterson abandoned her when her family was destroyed by a scandal that sent her father to prison. She hated him. She moved on. Or at least, she tried. Now Andrew is back. Older. Colder. More dangerous. And still the only man capable of making her heart beat the way it used to. But their second chance at love comes with a warning. Someone is watching them. Old secrets begin to surface, revealing that the scandal that destroyed their families was never what it seemed. Someone deliberately tore Andrew and Allysa apart—and now that they've found each other again, that same person will do anything to keep them from discovering the truth. Because this time, the price of their love isn't heartbreak. It's their lives. He was her first love. Her greatest heartbreak. And now... he might be her last. ❤️ Can they survive the secrets that tore them apart? Or will the truth bury their love forever? Some love stories end. Some love stories wait. But theirs... REFUSES TO BE BURIED.
