She broke my heart. Now she’s famous and sworn to keep me safe… even if I hate her.
EVIE My ex–best friend and first love is a global pop star. I work late shifts at my hometown diner. Avoiding Kaia Rhee should be easy… until a demon crawls out of the TV and tries to kill me.
Kaia bursts through the back door, glowing and lethal, and saves my life.
Now I’m marked, gagged by a magical NDA, and forced to play nice while her magical girl group uses my diner as a warded monitoring post. The worst part?
Kaia Rhee is the one girl I never got over—and she’s suddenly impossible to escape.
KAIA The world sees a perfectly packaged pop star. They don’t know I hunt demons too.
Coming home is supposed to be strategy: contain the Chorus before the Harbor Lights Festival turns my hometown into a feeding frenzy.
Instead, the first civilian I save is Evelyn Calder—the one person I never stopped missing, and the one person with every reason to hate me. I can’t rewrite our past. But I can keep her alive.
And if earning her forgiveness takes blood, truth, and a few catastrophically timed almost-kisses? Fine.
Because this time, I’m not leaving without Evie
