No one lays open the heart and soul quite like New
York Times bestselling author Mia Sheridan in this new
standalone contemporary romance.
The moment she met Callen Hayes, eleven-year-old Jessica
Creswell knew he was a broken prince. Her prince.
They became each other's refuge, a safe and magical place
far from their troubled lives. Until the day Callen kissed
her--Jessica's first real, dreamy kiss--and
then disappeared from her life without a word.
Years later, everyone knows who Callen Hayes is. Famous
composer. Infamous bad boy. What no one knows is that
Callen's music is now locked deep inside, trapped behind his
own inner demons. It's only when he withdraws to France to
drink his way through the darkness that Callen stumbles into
the one person who makes the music return. Jessica. His
Jessie. And she still tastes of fresh, sweet innocence .
. . even as she sets his blood on fire.
But they don't belong in each other's worlds anymore. There
are too many mistakes. Too many secrets. Too many lies. All
they have is that instinctive longing, that need--and
something that looks dangerously like love.
