I had one rule.Don't trust men.
So when Cade Sonnenberg, the wealthiest, most respected man in town walked into my dance studio and acted like he genuinely wanted to know me, I should have run.
I didn't run. Instead, I let him in. I let him close to my little brother. I let myself believe that maybe, just this once, someone was staying.
Then I overheard him talking about me at a party.
The words were so cold, they stopped my heart mid-beat.
I left from the back door, and cut him out of my life.
But now, as I'm preparing for the fall festival performance, he's back in my studio, begging for a second chance. But I heard what I heard, and he's not getting one.

Author's Note: This is the second book in the Words of Ruin series — short standalones linked by one devastating truth: overheard words can destroy everything. If you enjoyed the first book in the series, you'll love this one even more. Each book, a different season, a different secret. The same earth-shattering moment of hearing something you were never meant to hear. And the grovel? The knees-on-the-floor, heart-in-your-hands, please-give-me-a-second-chance grovel? Worth every page.
Genre: Romance
