After heartbreak comes hope. And sometimes... it only takes a secret that could shatter it. Sloane Carlisle always dreamed of a simple life. A good career, a big house, maybe even a few kids to fill the silence she and her husband had learned to live with. But when there's a knock on her front door, she isn't expecting to be told her husband is dead-especially not right after discovering their future was only just beginning. Derek Mason was always the quiet one. For years, he stood by as Sloane built a life with someone else, never once crossing the line. But when tragedy struck, he stepped in-not just as her best friend, but as the man her son needed. Now, raising her child by her side, Derek's feelings are no longer easy to ignore. Every laugh, every school drop-off, every stolen glance only deepens the weight of the secret he's been keeping. And when the truth comes to light, it could cost him the only relationship that's ever truly mattered.

Lyrics from the Heart Trilogy | Book Two **Read Don't Think FIRST. Major spoilers as this is a continuation* Allie: Three months ago, I crashed my cart into a rock star and somehow walked away with more than just bruised pride-I walked away with him. But real life doesn't pause for happily-ever-afters. Between Jax and I being judged for every move we make, and the quiet ache of wanting something I'm not sure my body can give, I'm hanging on by a thread. Jax is by my side through all of it-still managing to make me laugh even when the world feels like it's falling apart. Now the only question is: can we survive everything life keeps throwing at us? Jax: Allie is my home, my calm in all the chaos that surrounds me. When I met her, I was broken in more ways than anyone could see. But now that she's mine, I'm not afraid to face my demons. I'm just afraid of losing her to hers. Between the new album drop, endless interviews, and rising tension in the band, I'm being pulled in every direction. Everyone wants something-my time, my voice, my focus-and I'm running on fumes. Then the last person I ever expected to see again shows up: my father. Now he's back, making demands and digging up a past I never wanted to revisit. I don't know what he wants-but I know I won't let him destroy what I've built. Especially not what I'm building with her.
