Book 1 of the ENCORE series Completed (Editing) Ahvi Takeda is hiding a secret for the past five years. She has been trying to escape the secret for five years but even though she moved to London to live with her brother, she has been unable to let go of the guilt and shame. No matter how hard she tries to get rid of it, she can't. And now she doesn't think she ever will, not when her past shows up at her doorstep. Not when she is forced to face the consequences of her actions five years later. Jace Hyde has fucked up many times but the shit he finds himself in this time is way too deep for him to pull himself out of. When he finds out that his ex-girlfriend is pregnant with his child, he feels trapped. The only other people who know about the pregnancy are his best friend's little sister, Ahvi Takeda and her best friend. Although Ahvi is there for him, Jace can't help but feel alone. He has become the person he feared the most. He has become a father. As their problems twist into an ugly knot, revealing secrets and adding to the guilt they already carry with themselves, Jace and Ahvi find themselves being the only people who are there for each other. They're more like each other than anyone else. But life isn't known to be in their favor. What happens when Ahvi's mistake shows up at her front door? What will Jace do when he finds out that the woman he is seeking refuge in has a past no one knows about? Regret. Guilt. Anxiety. The holy trinity of shame. Will it ever end? Or will it drag them to their graves? **TRIGGER WARNING** The story contains mentions of self harm and suicide. If these topics make you uncomfortable, I suggest you click off.
