When Jessica and Callen were children, they found solace in each other—two broken kids creating their own magical world—until a single kiss shattered everything and he vanished without explanation. Now, years later, Callen is a famous but tormented composer struggling to escape his demons, while Jessica has moved on with her life. But when fate brings them crashing back together in France, the spark between them reignites with an intensity neither can deny, forcing them to confront the secrets and lies that have kept them apart. With Mia Sheridan's signature emotional depth, this is a stunning second-chance romance about two people who were never quite able to let each other go.
