He’s everything I ever wanted. So why can’t I tell him the truth? WARNING: This book contains dark and disturbing themes, strong language and over the top sexiness that may be uncomfortable for some readers! ————— I couldn't explain why I always had to lie to people I cared about. Was I trying to protect him? And the sorrow in his eyes when I told him that Kimmy wasn’t his, it shattered my heart. It almost made me recant and tell him the truth. But I can’t. ————— RYAN ‘ACE’ WALLACE I’ve got it all. Every agent wants to sign me. Every model wants to fuck me. So why am I throwing it all away? Why am I too hungover to go to practice? Yeah, a real ACE. There’s only one person who can straighten me out. And I just know. As soon as I see her, I’ll be cured. As soon as I’m inside her, I’ll be healed. SCARLETT I don’t know for how long I can keep this lie going. My job as a waitress. My studies that I never finished. My daughter. I can’t just keep hoping he’ll never find out. And especially not now that he’s coming home. One look into my daughter’s eyes, and he’ll know. He’ll know the truth. And he’ll never, ever, forgive me.
