who he is

kade mitchell is obsessed with a woman he swears he hates.

that’s where we start. years of history, a betrayal that broke something that was never fully fixed, and two people who have been hurting each other at a distance for long enough that the hurt has become its own kind of intimacy.

and then fate put them back in the same room.

here’s what wrecks you about kade. underneath the obsession, underneath the resentment, underneath every wall he has built and every terrible thing he has done โ€” he never stopped. not once. he has been carrying her with him the entire time and the weight of that comes off the page and sits directly on your chest.

leigh rivers is going to take you apart slowly and put you back together on her own schedule.
