ABOUT THE BOOK

I never expected to cross paths with Cameron again.

Raelynn

It’s been five years since we ended things and regret still hangs heavy in the air. When I couldn’t give him the one thing he really wanted, it nearly broke me. So, I let him go to save us both the heartache.

As we're forced down memory lane, small-town gossip stirs, leaving me to grapple with the love I never truly moved on from and the hope of a second chance.

Cameron

I thought what I had with Raelynn would be forever.

When she ended things out of the blue, I moved on to give her the space I thought she wanted. Returning home was never in the plan, but fate had other ideas. With one chance meeting, I know I can’t let her go again.

Unresolved tension lingers, but it’s not until we’re trapped by an avalanche that we discover the road ahead is paved with the promise of a future we only dreamed of in the past.

He has other plans, though, and vows to make certain I don’t. The only one I can turn to for help is a man I thought to be my enemy. Drew’s best friend Sebastian who claims to be my brother. He promises me security and protection. But no one can protect me from Drew. The faster I run, the more he chases. The harder I struggle, the tighter his grip becomes. My enemy. My stalker. My villain. It’s wrong, but I can’t stop myself from craving his rough touch, filthy words, and the dark promise of pleasure he gives me.

About JL Beck:

Beck writes steamy romance that’s unapologetic, meaning it makes no apologies for the way it rips you open and makes you crave more. Her heroes are alphas who take what they want, and she pairs them with heroines that bring them to their knees.

She loves writing about darkness, passion, suspense, and of course, steam. Leaving her readers gasping and asking what the hell just happened is only one of her many tricks. Her books range from morally grey to dark and spicey but always end with a happily ever after. She loves to write across numerous tropes, but her favorite is enemies to lovers. She started her writing career in the summer of 2014 and hasn’t stopped since. She lives in Wisconsin and is a mom to two, a wife, and likes to act as a literary agent part-time.

She stepped up to my side in a dark club and ordered a whiskey.

My go-to drink.

I didn’t know her name, I knew nothing about her, but every part of me came alive.

For more than a year my life had been turned upside down. I’d hit a wall at every turn, but suddenly the weight had lifted.

And the minute she stepped away, I felt the loss.

Things are not always as they seem.

We all have regrets; parts of our lives we wish we could erase.

For me, I wish I could change the order in which those choices were made.

Had I only met her first.

Had it been her that said yes.

Brynn is everything I could ever want, the problem is, my past may keep us from ever having a future.

Because before we were us, I was a version of myself I’d like to forget.

But that version of me has not yet been laid completely to rest.

C.A. Harms is an avid romance and mystery reader. She's always had a love for books, getting lost in writing and storytelling even as a young girl. She enjoys happy endings and HEA love stories.

She lives in Illinois and enjoys spending time with her husband and two children. She holds an addiction for Starbucks White Chocolate Mocha’s and KitKat when she should really be focusing on water and maybe a fruit or two to make herself feel less guilty, but that feeling quickly passes...thankfully.

She is easy going, fun, and although she may seem like one of the quiet ones at first, you just wait until she gets to know you better...that quietness changes, fast.
