Some scars don’t fade; they just lead you back to the one who left them.
Maxwell Riley was the boy who broke her.
The bully.
The tormentor.
He was the reason Evie Jones learned how to disappear in a crowded room, but she rebuilt herself from the ruins he left behind.
She became stronger, resilient, almost untouchable.
But years later, he’s back. Not as the cruel king of high school, but as a father with regret in his eyes and apologies she never asked for.
Max wants redemption.
But Evie wants the past to stay buried.
Why? Because loving the boy who destroyed you is dangerous.
As old wounds reopen, Evie must decide if the boy who broke her can become the man who heals her… or if loving him will only hurt her all over again.
