Description
Jared
They say love and hate dance together along the same line.
My feelings for Layla don't dance on the line; they destroy it.
It's been seven years since she disappeared without a trace.
And now she's back, but things have changed-I've changed.
I'm no longer the Jared she remembers, the boy who wanted to protect her.
I'm very much my father's son, and I take what I want, and what I want is Layla.
But this time, I'm keeping her forever.
Layla
Seven years-that's how long it's been since I've seen him.
After painstakingly putting myself back together, I'm finally ready to start a life without his memory chasing my every step.
Imagine my surprise when my new beginning leads me straight back to him.
Only he's not the boy I remember.
He's angry.
Damaged.
Hiding secrets that want to destroy him.
He hates me. He wants me.
I'm not sure I'll survive the man he has become. His demons threaten to destroy us both.
