[Sequel to Sparks Fly]
At the sound of the words "soulmate" or "love", Belinda Clarke can't help but scoff. Having been hurt by someone she trusts, Belinda has lost faith in love. As far as she is concerned, soulmates do not exist. Not anymore.
Under the persuasion of her best friend, Belinda downloads a trending dating app that promises to find people their soulmates, treating it as a game. To her horror, she finds herself matched with the person she hates the most: her ex-boyfriend, Jace Leighton.
Five years ago, Jace made his life's biggest mistake of breaking his girlfriend's heart into a million pieces. They have since lost contact with each other, and he has lost all hopes of reuniting with her. By a stroke of luck, he meets her again online. This time, Jace is determined not to let such an amazing girl go.
Trust takes time and effort to build, but once broken, it takes even longer to mend. He loves her, but she hates him. Whether they can sort out their differences remains a question.
