A kept secret divides. A shared secret destroys.

Tatum Wakefield
Being a pop star is a dream come true...for someone else. Someone who won’t spiral out of control and crash headfirst into rock bottom. Walford, Texas, may be the best place to hide from the paparazzi while I lick my wounds, but there’s no hiding from the man I abandoned ten years ago. I’m ready to confront the painful past, and Jake deserves an explanation. But if he learns my shameful secret, I’ll lose the only man I’ve ever loved...again.

Jake Holloway
Life hasn’t turned out as planned...as promised. I’ve spent years pretending not to care about the woman who left me to rot, but I’m not fooling anyone. My denial is legendary. When Tatum suddenly returns to Walford, my long-buried feelings for her demand resurrection. But I vow to fortify my grudge and stay far away until she leaves again. After all, she ruined me once. Only a fool would risk his heart a second time.
