alternate cover edition of ASIN: B00GD0JGFG For the past eight years I haven't been living, just ... Existing. The pain, the guilt, and the shame I carry have been locked away deep inside me for so long that it's impenetrable, until him. Until Connor Reeves. With a sexy smile and seductive eyes, the bad boy rocker walked right into my life without warning, and now the walls I built that hid all of my grief for so long are now crumbling at my feet. Now I am left wondering if it's possible that just as life can cause pain, it can also heal wounds in a heartbeat.

Before Lynae, my heart was just sitting lifeless in my chest. I wasn't living. I've hidden away the shame and the regret for so long, that I never thought anyone could break through. She did that, and so much more. I need Lynae more than I need air to breathe. She is everything to me. The night Lynae walked into my life, I knew that I would never be the same. My heart started to feel again. Now that I've pushed her away, the walls that I had built stand to destroy us. I have to get her back. I can't live without her. She is the one thing in this world that can make my heart beat.

She’s my best friend’s other best friend. The one that tried to take over my role when Lynae moved away. Yeah, like that would happen. There is something about her that drives me up the wall, but calls to me all at the same time. We fight like an old married couple, but she makes my body ignite with just an innocent touch. He’s my best friend’s other best friend. The one she grew up with. He thinks I’m trying to replace him. There is no way I can replace his spot in Lynae’s life, and I don’t want to. He annoys me to no end, but makes my heart flutter all at the same time. Bickering as if we’ve been married for years is only half of our relationship. Any time he touches me, he makes me feel more alive than I ever have before. What happens when two people try to fight against what feels so right, yet so wrong? Brought together by a common friendship. He wants her. She wants him. But they both struggle to resist their attraction, even though they are two hearts beating as one.
