I shouldn't have come back.
Bryn Walter left town five years ago with one 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 some love stories don't end.

Because Asher's devotion was never innocent. And loving her isn't the worst thing he's done.
