He thought
he protected her future. But she never escaped her past.
I enlisted
so Evie could have the future she deserved. She was smart and sweet and
confident; I knew she would change the world. Until I returned seven years
later to discover she’s never left. And she’s not the same girl I kissed
good-bye.
Heartbroken
over Jax, I went to my last high school party for closure. In one instant, my
dreams evaporated and everything I thought I knew crumbled. Helpless to move
forward, I watched the years pass.
Now he’s
back. But I’m too broken for second chances. I’m too broken for him.
Danielle's Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I absolutely love a good second-chance romance. Throw in a military man and I’m sold!
Evie & Jax were high school sweethearts. She was determined to follow her mother’s footsteps and be a career army general. Jax, well, he wanted to find his way too, wanted to be good enough for Evie, become something she’d be damn proud of.
So, in order to make that happen he enlisted too. She should’ve been happy, right? Wrong. Him leaving broke her. And then it broke them. And then, one traumatic night, she was broken once more, never to be whole again. All of her hopes and dreams vanished.
Fast forward seven years. Jax is home, definitely not expecting to see Evie still there. And definitely not expecting those same old feelings to be around, too.
Seven years is a long time, lots of things happened, some too hard to move on from. But god, do they both want to.
The love between this couple is breathtaking. The strength you’ll find in Evie is awe-inspiring. The support given by this family is heartwarming.
I absolutely loved the strength and resilience in Evie & Jax.
Excerpt
I can't believe it's her. Even with her back to
me, I can tell. I know the outline of her body, the way her dark hair falls
around her shoulders, the delicate curve of her neck. Eons could pass, and
still I would know her.
My eyes narrow at her thin frame, note the way
her shoulders poke through the fabric of her shirt. She turns toward me then
and I realize her skin is two shades too pale and a heavy tiredness hugs are
eyes. She’s my Maywood, but not.
I feel bulldozed. As if the universe is playing
a masterful trick on me. Is it really her? So much time and space are between
us; we're different people than we once were, and still it's as if I'm
transported back to high school, walking onto the football field. And instead
of thinking about the next play, I'm trying to figure out how to approach and
impress the beautiful girl that is so far out of my league, a ninety-yard Hail
Mary couldn't bring her closer.
Her gaze sweeps over me suddenly, her eyes
meeting mine as I stand, my focus zeroed in on her.
She freezes, her shoulders stiffening.
"You sure about this, Jax?"
I take another step, walking toward her. A
flicker of uncertainty in her deep blue eyes has me pausing for just a second.
Her face is impassive as she looks away. If it weren't for the clenching of her
hands and her tight grip on the underside of the bar, I wouldn't think I
affected her at all.
But I know I do.
I always have.
