About this book

When Jax unexpectedly reappears in her life after two years, he's no longer the man she once knew—he's harder, more guarded, and absolutely impossible to ignore. Their brief connection in the past left a mark she never quite managed to shake, and now she's facing a choice between protecting her heart and unraveling the mystery of who he's become. As old attraction reignites and secrets threaten to surface, she discovers that some people are worth the risk, even when redemption seems like a luxury neither of them deserves. Sylvia Day crafts a scorching second-chance romance that's as much about healing old wounds as it is about the electric pull between two people who can't stay away from each other.

smolderingconflictedmagneticyearningredemptive

Moody R&B and indie pop with smoldering tension—think sultry vocals, synth-driven beats, and raw emotional intensity. Songs about rekindled desire, unresolved feelings, and the dangerous pull of someone who changes you. Sultry, conflicted, magnetic.
