A dark masked man romance for fans of Navessa Allen and Avina St. Graves from the bestselling author of Die for You
I shouldn't have come back.
Bryn Walter left town five years ago with one goal: forget Asher Vale. The boy from the wrong side of everything. The boy she was never supposed to love. The boy who promised to protect her - no matter what it took.
I never let her go.
Asher left, but he never gave her up. He watched. Waited. Returned, again and again, to the place she left him, clinging to a promise that was never meant to fade. Bryn was always his - he's made sure of it.
Being back was supposed to be temporary.
The moment Bryn sees him again, the past snaps tight around her throat. Their connection is still there - stronger, darker, impossible to ignore. And as pieces of what really happened begin to surface, Bryn starts to realise the truth: some love stories don't end.
Because Asher's devotion was never innocent. And loving her isn't the worst thing he's done.
