But then Zane Reed walked in-tattoos snaking across his skin, piercing green eyes full of danger, and a presence that made it impossible to look away. He was temptation in its rawest form, and Cassie? She was already too far gone. One touch, and she was undone. One night, and she was lost. What started as a secret spiraled into something she couldn't control. Passion. Lies. Guilt. And a love that was never meant to last. But Cassie wasn't the only one keeping secrets and soon she realized that she hadn't been the only one breaking their vows. Now, she's standing at the edge of everything she swore she'd never ruin, faced with a choice she should have made long ago. Because in the end, it was never about him. It was always about them.
