Your past defines you… no matter how hard you try to escape it. Mia thought she had outrun hers. After one devastating mistake shattered her reputation and her heart, she rebuilt her life, determined never to look back. But fate has other plans. Returning home brings her face-to-face with the one man she swore she’d never see again—the man at the center of her downfall. Sebastian Carter. Once, he believed in her. Once, he let her in. But betrayal cut deep, and Sebastian has no interest in reopening old wounds. To him, Mia’s innocence was always a lie—and this time, he won’t be fooled. But when circumstances force them to work side by side, their fragile truce threatens to ignite something far more dangerous than hatred. Old scars resurface, old passions reignite, and the thin line between love and loathing grows harder to deny. Can two people who despise each other’s pasts find a future together—or will history repeat itself? Perfect for fans of enemies-to-lovers romance, fiery banter, and second chances that burn hotter the second time around.
