Description
Six years ago, Jasper Des Moines abandoned everything he once held dear to protect a dangerous secret and honor a crushing promise. He traded his authentic self for a meticulously crafted life of penance, complete with a reputation to defend, a blissfully ignorant best friend, and a husband he is expected to love. Deep down, Jasper believes this hollow existence is the only version of happiness he truly deserves.
The architecture of his carefully curated world begins to crumble when Cole Kincaid steps back onto the scene. Cole arrives in New York with a singular focus: to reclaim his place in Jasper’s orbit. Initially, he claims he only wants to see his former lover thrive, but as he peels back the layers of Jasper’s new reality, his intentions darken with possessive intensity. Cole remains steadfast in the belief that no legal vow can supersede the bond they once shared.
As Cole ruthlessly dismantles the barriers Jasper has built, he forces an impossible choice between the life Jasper has rightfully earned and the one his heart actually craves. In this electric game of deception and obsession, Jasper must confront a jagged reality: tragedy may have torn them apart, but only their lies can piece them back together.
