Book #4 of the Undercover Series - How do you still love someone after they've broken you so many times? After they've hurt you so deeply that it feels like a repeated slap to the face? It's like drowning over and over again, gasping for air, but the moment you come up for a breath, you let them push you back under. And no matter how much you promise yourself that this is it-that you're done with the pain, done with the lies-something inside you snaps the moment you see them again.
You forget.
You forget the nights you cried yourself to sleep, the ache in your chest that wouldn't go away. You forget all the promises you made to yourself about never going back. It's like your sense of self-worth disappears the second they walk back into the room, and you can't even explain why. Why them? Why the person who's done nothing but make you feel like you're not enough?
Maybe it's because there's a part of you that's always hoping, praying, that this time it'll be different. That somehow, this time, they'll choose you the way you've chosen them, again and again, despite every bruise they left on your heart. You know you deserve better, but love makes you forget all that. It's twisted.
You know the damage they've done, and yet, you stand there, waiting, hoping-because the only thing scarier than them hurting you again is the thought of them not being in your life at all.
It's messed up. But that's love, isn't it? The kind that's tangled and broken but still clings to hope, to the pieces that could be-if only they'd choose you this time.
It's an enemies-to-lovers, slow burn, and there's going to be other books in the series! It's mature, because there's sexual scenes and cussing, so if you don't want that, skip this book 💗
