Once, they shared one soul. Can hope heal years of
despair and broken dreams?
Music is all I know. It saved me as a kid. It brings me fame
and fortune now. But what am I, the famous Gage Rodin, doing at night when I’m
on the road and can’t sleep? Googling her. Tess Hades, the
girl who still haunts my dreams and my lyrics.
She arrived like a quiet storm, a wild thing with eyes
guarded to the world. But she let me into the deep end of her beautifully
broken soul. When we were together, life was simple. When my life got
complicated, she did what she thought was the right thing. She let me go.
While she’s been out saving the wild creatures of the world,
my muse has fed on the memory of our life together. But now everything in my
world is shifting again, and not in a good way. I’m not certain I have the
strength to bear another devastating loss, so I find myself reaching for
something as rare and elusive as the perfect song lyric.
The one woman who never gave up hope…

Top Read 2018
The Queen of Angst has done it again! God, this book!
"It's like her soul was calling mine. I could hear a faint voice saying, you're finally home."
When Gage Rodin first meets Tess Hades, he's holding down three jobs and struggling to make his name on the music scene. The wary and skittish Tess has an immediate and profound effect on him.
"He was exasperating, and sweet, and I hated that my feelings for him were growing by the minute."
Tess doesn't like how much Gage affects her; how attracted she is to him. She's broken and her heart is too vulnerable to welcome any man. However, when she realises that he wants her for herself - not for her connections or fame -she can't help falling for him.
"Fall with me. Let this happen naturally. Stop fighting it."
They fall into a friendship as trust is built between them. When Gage patiently sneaks little by little over the line, and slowly knocks Tess' walls down, all seems promising and exciting, until it isn't. Until their relationship is completely broken and seemingly irreparable.
"Just because I can't have the dream doesn't mean I should stop dreaming."
Oh my god! Every time I read this author's novels, I always have to prepare myself because it's a guarantee that I'll find myself in bits at some point! LOL. In the beginning, Tess and Gage's relationship was a beautiful thing to watch, as Tess slowly begins to trust him and fall for him. Gage is SUCH a sweetheart! I adored him! He's hardworking, charming, caring and thoughtful. He's also determined and patient. My heart broke for him, for her, for the loss of years they could have been happy together. The second half of the book really had my eyes watering because it was a serious angst-fest! However, one thing it showcased was that no matter the years and the distance they spent apart, their love endured. They just needed time, forgiveness, understanding and renewed trust to start again.
I LOVED this author's words so much! They were beautiful, poetic and left a lasting impression.
