I shattered her light to hide my darkness, and it’s the only crime I’ll ever regret.
My family name is a loaded gun, and I’ve spent my whole life trying to outrun the trigger. No matter how clean I try to play it, I always end up on the wrong side of the deal. Then Olivia walks in.
She’s everything I’m not — light, steady, good in a way I didn’t know existed. And for the first time in my life, I want to be someone worth keeping. But I know what’s coming.
I know what my last name will cost her when the truth surfaces. So I do the only thing left to do. I break her heart before my family can. What I don’t count on is Olivia refusing to stay broken.
When my past finally catches up, the cell door closes and everything I built with her goes with it. Years pass. Regret doesn’t.
Now she has a choice: walk away clean, or trust the man who taught her she couldn’t. I thought prison would be the worst thing that ever happened to me.
Turns out, the real sentence is proving I’m worth a second chance to the only woman I’ve ever loved.
