Jake thought escaping the mine would be the hardest thing he would ever have to do.
He was wrong.
When MC finally finds him, she discovers him barely alive-his body broken, his spirit separated from the one thing keeping him tethered to the world. Unable to wake, unable to move, and unable to reach her, Jake is forced to become a silent observer of the woman who refuses to give up on him.
With nowhere else to turn, MC risks everything and seeks help from people she knows she shouldn't trust. Dangerous people. Desperate people. But when it comes to saving Jake, she's willing to pay any price.
As Jake watches from the space between life and death, he sees a side of MC he never expected-the exhaustion she hides, the fear she fights, and the love that keeps her by his side even when she believes he can't hear her.
But their fragile hope is shattered when MC becomes the one taken.
Trapped outside his own body, Jake can only watch as the woman who fought so hard to save him is pulled away. For the first time in his life, his greatest weapon-his mind-means nothing. He can't hack his way out. He can't fight his way through. He can't protect her.
All he can do is hold on to the one thing connecting them...
A single heartbeat.

Despite her palpable disdain for Mattheo, an unusual interest flickers. As he tries to unravel the mystery of the girl in any shape or form he can attempt, their hostile exchanges finally burn into a magnetic connection.

Forward | Rewind to Tomorrow [Michael Jackson]
"It causes your immune system to turn against you," I explained gently. The color terrifyingly drained from his face as he stared at his knuckles. "I have a spot," he whispered, his voice scraping like glass. "Right here." He let out a strangled noise as the stadium footage buffered. "Riley!" he shrieked, covering his burning face while peering through his fingers at his future self. "Those pants leave absolutely nothing to the imagination!" He went so unnaturally still I thought his heart had stopped beating. His charcoal-stained fingers curled into tight fists. "Fifty," he whispered, scanning the fatal summary on the glowing screen. "I am... I am gone at fifty." What if the only way to save your future was to completely abandon your past? In 1982, Michael Jackson is suffocating. Trapped behind his family's compound gates and drowning under industry pressure, the rising star just wants a life of peace and normalcy. The universe answers-violently ripping him from his timeline and dropping him onto the bedroom rug of Riley, a freelance graphic designer in the year 2025. Stranded forty-three years in the future, Michael must face a world that already knows his tragic history. But Riley fiercely refuses to let that history repeat. She offers him the anonymous, ordinary life he always craved, rebuilding his shattered confidence brick by brick and teaching him the radical concept of self-love. More importantly, she arms him with the ultimate weapon: the brutal truth. She gives him the exact names of the snakes hiding in his 1982 backyard, the upcoming betrayals, and the devastating tragedies he is destined to face. When the universe inevitably pulls him back, Michael is no longer the timid pop star terrified of his shadow. He is a king preparing to claim his throne, knowing exactly how to rewrite music history and what it takes to survive. But armed with the future, changing his fate might cost him the one person who taught him how to live.
