From the author of the #1 bestselling romance, #Jake Undone, #comes a friends-to-lovers story of longing, #passion, #betrayal and redemption…with a twist that will rip your heart out.

Skylar was my best friend, #but I secretly pined for her. One thing after another kept us apart, #and I’ve spent the last decade in fear of losing her forever.

First, #it was the cancer, #but she survived only to face the unthinkable at my hands. Because of me, #she left town. For years, #I thought I’d never see her again.

But now she’s back…and living with him.

I don’t deserve her after everything I’ve put her through, #but I can’t live without her. This is my last chance because she’s about to make the biggest mistake of her life. I can see it her eyes: she doesn’t love him. She still loves me...which is why I have to stop her before it’s too late.

First and foremost, thank you to my loving parents for continuing to support me every day in

every way.

To my husband, who puts up with a lot of crap so I can live out this new dream …thank you for

your love and patience.

To Allison, who always believed in me back when all of this was simply about telling stories

and to Harpo, my agent in heaven: love you both.

To my editor, Kim York, thank you for your undivided attention chapter by chapter and for

your invaluable facebook chats.

To my besties: Angela, Tarah and Sonia…love you all so much!

To all the bloggers who help and support me: you are the reason for my success. I’m afraid to

To my readers: nothing makes me happier than knowing I’ve provided you with an escape

some way.

To the autism moms (and dads): you rock!

Last but not least, to my daughter and son: Mommy loves you. You are my motivation and

inspiration!
