SUMMARY
From New York Times Bestseller, Pepper Winters, comes the second book in Kas and Gem’s twisted romance.
A valley full of secrets.
A history full of nightmares.
A man who cannot be saved.
And a woman who holds his very life in her hands.
Strange how the villain of a story can so easily become the victim.
Utter lunacy to think the captive might now become the caregiver.
Gemma has a decision to make.
Her life or his.
Follow her heart, even when it’s screaming at her to run? Or turn her back on the man who could become her everything?
“Live your questions now, and perhaps even without knowing it, you will live along some distance days into your answers.”
Rainer Maria Rilke
Gemma
WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT that the victim could become the villain?
That one choice could derail not just one life but two. And not just derail but cause a catastrophic annihilation—an annihilation neither party could survive.
All I wanted was to go home.
I’d fought for that. Schemed for that.
And when I’d finally earned it…I had to make the hardest choice imaginable.
I was the reason he fell off that cliff.
He was the reason I turned my back on my freedom.
