“I regret ever loving you.”
Her voice shook with disgust as she said it, because loving Mark had destroyed her once.
The night he walked away without explanation became the night Vanessa’s heart was shattered. She spent Two yearsrebuilding herself, her restaurant, and the life he destroyed. She was intentional about her healing, building everything from scratch, piece by piece.
And now… he was back.
Mark.
Standing in front of her like nothing had happened.
Unannounced.
Unwanted.
Unapologetically present.
That bastard!
How dare he return after everything? After leaving without remorse, never calling, never apologizing.
Now he’s back and wants a place in her heart again.
It’s a firm no for Vanessa.
But as they say, love has a way of turning things around.
The fire between them reignites. Old feelings resurface, because she once loved him with her life. Desire creeps in. And against her better judgment, Vanessa falls again.
But love isn’t the only thing Mark brought back with him.
Secrets trail his footsteps.
Trust begins to rot.
Vanessa doesn’t know if she can handle it.
Can she trust Mark… or is this all a trap?
Because this time, loving him may cost her more than heartbreak.
Will it cost her life too?
