When the lead singer of my rock band sets his sights on a pretty waitress, I’ll do whatever it takes to make sure she doesn’t get in the way of our dreams. Only, my plan unravels when she accidentally spills her darkest secrets to me one night, triggering a profound connection neither of us saw coming. And when those dark secrets come back to haunt her, threatening more than just the new life she’s built for herself, I’m the one she runs to. I know I should run the other way—I’m a single father who’s been burned before. Not to mention, she’s my front man’s girl. But in my crusade to drive her away, I fell for her instead, and now, I’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe… whether she’s mine, or not.

Six years ago, I hit rock bottom. In a desperate attempt to pull myself from the ashes, I had to burn the people I loved most. Now, those same people are drowning in darkness after their world is rocked by tragedy. I've made a business out of helping others, channeling my past trauma into a good cause. But when the one person who needs my help the most sends me away, I have another choice to make. I'm stronger now. I've spent years stitching up old wounds. But the wound of my broken love story has never fully healed. Six years ago, I lost myself. I lost him. I won't make the same mistake twice. \\This is a second chance romance, and the final installment of the Duet Series\\
