Tyson Ranes broke my heart the day he walked away.

​

In a world full of fake smiles and shallow promises, he’s the only person I trusted. My best friend. My protector. The boy who sees the real me.

​

But then, he leaves.
No explanation. No goodbye. Just gone.

​

Now, after three years of silence, he’s back in Cypress Falls—wanting to pick up the pieces like nothing ever happened. But the girl he left behind isn’t the same. I’ve built walls he doesn’t get to climb after what he did.

​

Still, Tyson doesn't give up. Not this time. He has scars that never healed, too.
He wants a second chance, but I push him away at every turn.

​

As I’m forced to spend more time with him, the threats start. Someone is willing to go to any lengths to get to me, shattering windows and hiding in shadows.

​

If I let Tyson back in, my heart isn’t the only thing at risk—it could cost me everything.
