Beautiful Damage

For seven years, Gabriella Fisher loved one boy.

He was her brother's best friend. The boy who spent more time in her house than his own. The one she wasn't supposed to fall for.

Xander Kade Russo.

She loved him in silence until he finally became hers... only to lose him just as quickly.

At eighteen, Gabriella believed they were forever. At nineteen, Xander walked away, chasing the professional lacrosse career he'd dreamed of since he was a kid, leaving nothing behind but broken promises and a heart she never quite managed to put back together.

Four years later, he's home.

Now twenty-three, Xander has everything he thought he wanted-except the one person he's never been able to forget. Gabriella, now twenty-two, has spent years convincing herself she's over him. She isn't.

Some loves don't die.

They rot.

Old feelings turn into dangerous obsessions, buried secrets claw their way back to the surface, and the line between love and destruction begins to disappear. With Caleb Fisher caught between his best friend and his little sister, everyone has something to lose.

Because second chances don't always lead to happy endings.

Sometimes they lead straight to hell.
