The New York Times and USA Today bestselling New Adult author returns with a sizzling novel of love, loss, guilt, and forgiveness.
Grey and Ben fell in love at thirteen and believed theyâd be together forever. But three days before their wedding, the twenty-year-old groom-to-be suddenly died from an unknown heart condition, destroying his would-be-brideâs world. If it hadnât been for their best friend, Jagger, Grey never would have made it through those last two years to graduation. Heâs the only one who understands her pain, the only one who knows what itâs like to force yourself to keep moving when your dreams are shattered. Jagger swears heâll always be there for her, but no one has ever been able to hold on to him. Heâs not the kind of guy to settle down.
Itâs true that no one has ever been able to keep Jaggerâbecause heâs only ever belonged to Grey. While everyone else worries over Greyâs fragility, heâs the only one who sees her strength. Yet as much as he wants Grey, he knows her heart will always be with Ben. Still they canât deny the heat that is growing between themâa passion that soon becomes too hot to handle. But admitting their feelings for each other means theyâve got to face the past. Is being together what Ben would have wanted . . . or a betrayal of his memory that will eventually destroy them both?
