It’s been almost six years since she ruined what we had. Her lies shattered years of friendship and ripped apart the future we planned. After I called her a liar and revoked my trust, she left town and never looked back. In a cruel twist of fate, she’s returned. But I’m not the wounded boy she left behind. I’m a man now. A man full of anger, resentment, and loss. Darkness consumed me after she left. An unforgiving black hole where my heart used to be. If she thinks she’s already seen the worst of me, she’s wrong. Dead wrong.

Violet has only three goals: cure her sister's illness, find a job that doesn't involve getting into fights with pixies, and hide her soul-stealing abilities at all costs. Sounds easy, right? Wrong.

There’s no problem too big I can’t overcome it, though. Even if it comes in the form of a stubborn six-foot-five former NFL quarterback.

Losing her nearly destroyed me. Reclaiming her is something I've waited years for. I can see it in her eyes, feel it in her touch. The desire, the temptation, she needs me just as much as I need her.
