Beautifully raw and emotional, and full of exquisitely swoony moments, this story hooked me from beginning
to end (I read it in one sitting). I couldn't put it down! The characters are rock solid, imperfectly perfect
(especially Ethan), and the magnetic chemistry was mesmerizing. – Katie from Katie’s Clean Book Collection

Another remarkable read by Mylissa Demeyere. Ethan and Ainsley had me laughing and crying as they face
their own demons and fall in love while doing it. This book adds even more depth as it confronts suicide head
on. Suicide has become an epidemic that some are afraid to address; Demeyere brings it to light from both the
victims and the survivors giving us insight on the struggles of so many. It does not disappoint and I, again, am
excited to see what comes next from this talented writer. – Amazon Reviewer

story and that it is never too late for love to overcome any challenge. – Amazon Reviewer

Excerpt:
ETHAN
“The song changed, and a fast, hypnotic rhythm I recognized from the radio blasted
through the place. I held onto Ainsley and started swaying to the beat. For me, this was
second nature, but Ainsley felt stiff and unwilling to move along with the sway of the
music. I got closer to her and held her near.
through the place. I held onto Ainsley and started swaying to the beat. For me, this was
second nature, but Ainsley felt stiff and unwilling to move along with the sway of the
music. I got closer to her and held her near.
“You’re overthinking this.” I felt her shiver and saw goose bumps break out on the bare
skin at her shoulder. I leaned in closer and dropped a soft kiss there, feeling her lean in
even closer and shudder once more. I liked it.
skin at her shoulder. I leaned in closer and dropped a soft kiss there, feeling her lean in
even closer and shudder once more. I liked it.
I released our intertwined fingers and ran my hands up her arms, loving the way her
body responded to my touch. The people around us bumped and swung on the dance
floor, completely oblivious to the spark and heat building between us. My hands traveled
down her back and held onto her hips. “Feel the beat.” My voice came out husky, affected
by her so close to me. I moved her gently to the rhythm of the music and felt her body
respond to my ministrations. I fought off the shivers coursing through my own body,
feeling her pressed up to me like this. And like a light switch being turned on, she
reciprocated. Her hips joined me, her arms wrapped around my neck, and her eyes found
mine and held my gaze. She was locked in rhythm with me, our bodies moving in total
sync with the music, rocking to a perfect beat, unaware of anything around us. Focused
solely on each other. There wasn’t a more perfect moment. Staring down at her, I felt my
heart beat faster. I knew I loved this woman in my arms. I felt the cord that was wrapped
around us tug us closer together. I leaned in the last leg of the distance and pressed my
lips to hers. All the fire I had experienced paled in comparison to what I felt when I
pressed my mouth to hers. Fireworks exploded. Her lips weren’t unfamiliar to me. But
that first kiss had been all about showing her I cared. That I was there to take care of her.
This was all my bottled up want, need, and love that came bursting out to the surface in a
hot melding of two people meeting each other in a searing kiss. Ainsley must have felt the
buildup. She met me with as much passion, opening up to me in complete acceptance.
Our tongues tangled, and I pulled her closer, needing to feel her flush against me. How I
had craved this for so long. I felt her hand flatten against my chest, and my muscles
responded to her touch. My whole body was on fire, craving her touch.
