It's been a year since he lost her. A year since she left him standing there, in a small hotel room. A year since she told him all they ever had was a big lie. A year since everything they built fell apart. After a year apart, Myles Erlick and Briar Nolet are just shadows of the people they used to be. Myles managed to survive with a broken heart, but when Briar comes back into his life, will he be able to stay away or will he forgive her? Briar has a secret. Will Myles help her? Or will he leave her like she left him?
