I’m a believer in second chances, but some mistakes are unforgivable. Brandon Lewis destroyed my life when he left, and I won’t let him do it again.
This was supposed to be my year of redemption. After my dreams were shattered, I was ready for a fresh start. The last thing I was expecting was to see him again.
Brandon. The man who dumped me in a text message leaving me with more than just a broken heart. Now, he’s a successful ex-professional football player, with a cocky grin and an army of fans. To make matters worse, he’s the new football coach at Palm Springs High, where I’ve just started teaching dance. Avoiding him is impossible.
From the moment I first see him, I can feel his eyes on me, his intentions crystal clear. He wants me back, and this time he’s not taking no for an answer.
But I’m not the same girl he left behind. I have secrets, ones that I’ve hidden for years, and he’s the reason why. Every time he’s near, my practiced façade starts to slip a little further, and I’m reminded of everything he took from me.
I’m stubborn and I don’t want to let him in again, but his determination to break down my walls is stronger.
As his presence in my life grows, so does my anxiety. Will he destroy me again? Or could this be the second chance I need to confront my demons and finally live without the fear?
