jalousi-e
At eighteen, Anneliese Van Rensselaer thought she had forever. At twenty-eight, Sidney Crosby thought he was saving her. To give her a life outside the suffocating glare of his fame, Sid told the only lie that would make her leave: I don't love you anymore.
Ten years later, Liesey is back in Pittsburgh. She has a prestigious last name, a perfect life, and a diamond ring from an F.N.B. heir that promises the stability she was always supposed to want. But beneath the silk of her gala gowns, she still wears the thin silver necklace Sid gave her a decade ago, a secret tether to a man who broke her heart for her own good.
When a corporate charity event forces them face-to-face, the lie that held them apart for a decade begins to crumble. Sid is no longer "The Kid," and Liesey is no longer the girl he could protect by walking away. In a city that never stopped cheering for him, can they find a way back to each other, or are some ghosts better left in the past?
