A slow-burn, second-chance, marriage-in-crisis, rockstar romance with angst, unrequited yearning, a high-stakes rescue, betrayal, and the most agonizingly earned heroine-led grovel you'll ever read.
I fell in love with Deacon Vega the moment his saxophone first serenaded me in an underground Nashville bar.
We eloped in secret, convinced our shared passion was enough. However, when an unimaginable tragedy struck, grief shattered me, and I let it destroy us. Unable to face the sorrow, I asked for a divorce, turned my back on the only man I’d ever truly loved, and fled.
Six months later, trying to heal a broken soul, I fell into the arms of a world-famous Italian actor who swept me off my feet.
It was the biggest mistake of my life.
Years later, when my world implodes on an assignment in a disaster zone, leaving me wounded, it isn't my suave, sophisticated Italian husband who braves the worst to save me.
It’s Deacon. The ex-husband I shattered.
He pulls me from the ashes, brings me into his home, and tends to my wounds.
Living under his roof, as he raises our son with fiercely protective devotion while shielding me from the toxic, media-frenzied collapse of my second marriage, the agonizing truth hits me: Deacon is no longer the vulnerable young man I walked away from.
He’s Six Sinners’ sax virtuoso whose playing leaves millions on their knees. He carries gravitas, an immovable force and fortress; the man I’m falling helplessly in love with again.
Deacon saved my life, but I ruined his faith in us. I don't expect his forgiveness, but as I untangle myself from my current husband, I find myself drawn to my first husband again.
Our chemistry is off the charts, and I find myself exploring ‘what if.’
I’m now ready to endure whatever it takes to prove the woman who broke him is ready to do whatever it takes to heal him.
He rescued me from the ashes ... will he ever let me back into his heart, or are our past wounds too deep to heal?
The Tropes:
