Candice refuses to allow either father to tell her anything about Ryan. Now that he’s back, she’s scared and wants closure. Ryan wants something else entirely.
Blurb:
Candice
His kiss was supposed to be the start of our forever. Instead, it marked the beginning of our end. That damn kiss. one kiss that not only destroyed our future but ended my ability to believe, to trust, to love.
He was my best friend. We should have known better.
Three years kept us apart, yet an invisible rope continues to tug at us. He’s finally returning home and I know it’ll only be a matter of time before we must face each other again. I’m older, stronger, wiser and no longer the starry-eyed girl who followed his every command.
He almost destroyed me last time, I won’t give him a second chance. I can’t.
