From USA Today bestselling author L.J. Shen comes a passion- and angst-charged story about a woman caught between a secure relationship and a once-in-a-lifetime spark with her muse.
They say first loves are oftentimes the end of one’s innocence.
Those words couldn’t ring truer for Everlynne Lawson, whose first brush with romance came with a heartbreak…and the thing that seems to follow her everywhere she goes. Death.
After a great tragedy, Everlynne loses all she cares about―her dreams, her family, and her soulmate, Joe.
Guilt-ridden, Everlynne decides to isolate herself in Salem, Massachusetts. A shell of the woman she once was, she takes her days one at a time, careful not to allow herself the joy she believes others in her life were robbed of. But when the mysterious, handsome Dominic storms into her life, it becomes more difficult to stay in solitude. Dominic is different: adventurous, joyous, with lust for life and a passion to make her his.
Everlynne is on the cusp of reinventing herself once again when the old wounds of her past are resurrected, rawer than ever. There is nothing worse than being in love with two men.
Especially when one of them hates you.

But see, forgiving people who hurt us is not about those people at all. It is about choosing to move on with our lives. Letting go of the grudges. Healing without depending on someone else’s journey.

You goddamn know Presley was never in the race. Joe shuts me up with a dirty, violent kiss. As long as you have breath in you, no one else stands a chance.

They’re not wrong. I have no idea what I’ll do. Because even in the best of times, I’ve always been torn. Between the man I am about to bury. And the man standing behind my back.

Mainstream people aren’t revolutionary. Nothing good ever comes out of them. Average equals comfort.

Beautifully written! So emotional, raw, and complex. I had a very hard time putting this book down. This book will make you want to cry one second and the next throw your book/kindle across the room. I just wanna smack some sense into Everlynn because she’s so scared of being with Joe in fear something bad will happen to him.
