Amara Vale believed she'd found the kind of love that only exists in stories. Ethan Cole was her closest friend, her first love, the one person she trusted above everyone else. With him, forever felt within reach. Then, one night, it all fell apart. Ethan left without warning, leaving behind only unanswered questions and a betrayal she couldn't bring herself to forgive. She spent the next three years putting her life back together, learning how to exist without him, vowing never to trust him again. Now he's back. But he's not the person she remembers. He tells her the truth behind their breakup isn't what she's always believed—that the betrayal she thought had destroyed everything was only the surface of a secret buried for years. Someone had been watching him. Someone knew about her. And the closer she gets to the truth, the more dangerous it becomes. As old feelings creep back in, Amara has to face the question she's spent years running from: What if the person who shattered her heart is also the one who once saved her? But uncovering the truth might cost her more than losing him ever did. Because sometimes your greatest love and your worst mistake turn out to be the same person.
