She thought she'd left him behind. But some stories don't end - they just begin again. Just when Mia believes she's finally turning the page on her past, a handwritten letter from Grayson shatters her fragile peace and pulls her right back into the chaos she tried to escape. Now faced with a life-altering decision - walk away for good, or risk everything for one last chance at the love that changed her - Mia must confront the truth about what she wants, and what it might cost her to have it. In this gripping conclusion to the Shadows and Stars trilogy, hearts will break, secrets will unravel, and Mia will discover whether love can really conquer the darkness - or if some endings were always written in the stars.

With her best friend Hailey by her side and the comforting presence of her colleague Anderson growing stronger, Mia starts to believe she might be moving on. Piece by piece, she's learning to breathe again. But heartbreak doesn't follow rules.

'Love is like a child, That longs for everything it can come by' -William Shakespeare _______________________________________________________ Maya Matthews is the description of perfection, or as she has been addressed. She excels in every field she steps her foot into, be it from her perfect grades to being the best daughter a parent could ask for, you name it. Her tenderness is what attracts every guy's attention. She seems to have everything she could ask for. What could possibly be wrong with her near to perfect life? Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth. Maya has her demons that she desperately attempts to hide from the world that not a single soul knows about. Shawn Daniels is the perfect storm and the missing puzzle in Maya's life. He is the polar opposite of Maya. Smart, confident, and witty. He's often misunderstood for a bad boy, who has quite a handful of girls swooning over him. He's a carefree soul. He is the yin to her yang. What happens when they cross paths and Shawn unleashes Maya's dark secrets? Will he succeed in his mission to pull Maya out of her past, and show what life has to offer? But life is certainly not a bed of roses and nothing comes as easy. _______________________________________________________ They say love can overcome anything. You never exactly know when it will strike and turn your life upside down. Love will make you doubt every single thing that you believe in yet you will find yourself drowning in it slowly, very slowly but deeply. _______________________________________________________ All rights reserved © 2020-Shrya1712
