♥︎ Ren: I have to admit it... I never got over Giovanni. I thought I had moved on, even married another man. But just when I had my life all neatly put together, it all broke apart. Now, I'm nearly thirty, freshly single, and living back home with my mom in California. Then, as if by fate, Gio walks back into my life, his gaze licking up my body like fire, and Zap! All it takes is one look to feel the intense connection surging between us again... and I know he feels it, too, but whenever my heart leaps forward, he immediately takes two steps back. I give anything to be with him again, but will a man stay with a woman if she can't give him a family?
♥︎ Gio: At seventeen, Lauren captured my heart and soul. I naively believed we were soulmates until she shattered that dream and left New York, detonating a bomb of past trauma and heartbreak that turned my world upside down. My life spiraled into chaos, but since my recent diagnosis, starting therapy, and the right medication, I've finally regained my balance. Then she drops back into my life out of nowhere, primed to fuck all that stability up, and I'm supposed to jump back in where we left off? I don't think so. I'd be foolish to risk it, right? I'm so scared for her to discover what I already know-she wouldn't want the man I am now.
They say if you love someone truly, you will always find your way back to them, no matter what life throws at youu.

*****
"Hayley run"
I fell in the depths of death while he lay in my arms. With a peaceful look, eyes full of tears and a broken heart I kissed his forehead "you were, are and will be the best thing that ever happened to me"
Then it was silent, all trace of laughter, happiness and love, disappeared and along with it, went the love of my life
"Christian would have want you to live"
Just as we parted ways the last time, I walked out without a word, without a single sound or mutter, only a single tear sliding down my cheek as I left him there, to die. Yet his soft rumbling voice whispered in the back of my mind, a phantom hand upon my shoulder "I love you"
I realized our story wasn't a happy ending, because happy endings? Those never existed
A few glimpses of the last chapter of book 1 to give you the ideaa. The new book brings even more trouble-intensity but most of all, even more love!
