Fame, addiction, and a love that might not be enough to save us both. RJ Thompson I have it all—rock star parents, a platinum album, and Montgomery Winston, my best friend turned my everything. But the pressure of living up to this legendary family name is killing me slowly, one pill at a time. Montgomery Winston I've watched addiction destroy my family before. I swore I'd never let it happen again. But when the love of my life chooses a high over me, over our future, over the paper ring promises we made as teenagers, how do I save someone who doesn't want to be saved? When RJ's spiral hits rock bottom and he disappears into rehab, I'm left with a wait for a man who might never be the love of my life he was before, or open my heart to someone who's actually available. Someone safe. Someone who won't break my heart every time he breaks his promises. But love isn't supposed to be safe. And some promises—even ones made from straw wrappers and desperation—are worth fighting for. A devastating second-chance romance about addiction, recovery, and learning that sometimes the most loving thing you can do is let someone go. Childhood friends to lovers, second chance romance, addiction recovery, forced separation, rock star romance, "I can fix him" vibes, slight love triangle elements
