(Second book to "The Lies We Resist") Maeve Kingston and Noah Harrington were never supposed to fall in love. Born into powerful, wealthy families, their arranged marriage was nothing more than a calculated move-a business deal wrapped in vows and public appearances. But somewhere between the fights and the forced smiles, between the late-night confessions and stolen moments, something real took root. Something neither of them were ready for. And then, just as quickly, it all fell apart. Now, a few years after their breakup, they're nothing more than polished strangers in the same social circles. At least, that's what Noah tells himself when he sees Maeve again at a high-profile event-when her blue eyes still pull him in like they used to, when his name still sounds different in her mouth. He's moved on. He's sure of it. Until she looks at him and says, I miss you. Torn between the love they ruined and the distance they built, Maeve and Noah are forced to face the wreckage of what they once had. Can something broken be pieced back together, or were they always meant to fall apart? A story of love, loss, and the people we can't quite let go of, this book is a slow-burn, second-chance romance filled with aching tension, quiet longing, and two people who are trying-and failing-to forget each other.
