Abby I didn’t have a choice when my parents dragged me away from the only home I’d ever known, and forbade me from contacting the one person who meant the world to me. I was forced to live a life I never wanted, with a man I could never love. Somehow, I learned to survive it… Until Jackson Taylor finds me. He’s not the boy I remember. He’s stronger, sharper, and asking questions I can’t afford to answer. Being near him cracks open everything I worked so hard to bury - especially the truth about why I left and what I’ve been protecting all these years. Because Wanting Jackson means risking everything. And this time, losing him might cost more than my heart. Jackson She vanished, gone like a ghost in the night, and I never stopped looking. Abby Park was my first love. The girl who owned my heart before life ripped everything else away. Eleven years later, I’ve built a life I can manage, surrounded by people I care about, while never allowing myself to need anyone too much. Until I finally track her down. She’s different. Guarded. Hiding something I can feel in my bones. And the more I push, the clearer it becomes that Abby didn’t leave me. She was taken. I don’t just want answers, I want her. And I won’t walk away again, not when the truth threatens to change everything I thought I lost forever.
