Brandon is the only place Svetlana feels safe. But forever comes with expectations. And she's carrying a truth that could rewrite theirs.

Svetlana wants the life he's offering. She wants the promises, the certainty, the man who makes her feel whole.

She just isn't sure she can give him the future he deserves.

The longer she keeps the truth to herself, the heavier it becomes. The distance grows. The silence stretches between them.

Brandon has never been more certain of anything. Svetlana is his heart, his home, the woman he wants beside him for the rest of his life.

But he can feel it, the hesitation she tries to hide. The fear behind her smile. The weight she refuses to share.

He wants forever. She's terrified of what forever might mean.

And when the past collides with the future they're building, they'll be forced to confront the one truth neither of them is prepared to face.

Because love can survive almost anything. But secrets have a way of turning hope into heartbreak.

Book Two in a passionate, high-heat trilogy where love is tested, loyalty is challenged, and desire refuses to be denied.
