I'd heard stories of near death experiences, although the tales never seemed to be the same. Me, I saw many things. My son. Myself. My sins. The stars. And I also felt. The feeling wasn't about me, but about another, as if someone was calling out to me, begging me to come back. That they needed my help. Then the stars burned out. And I thought I had died. But I was wrong. When Avery Hensley met Conner Wellings, she thought she'd found the guy she was going to spend the rest of her life with. She got married young and had the most beautiful son in the world. Life seemed perfect. But not everything is what it seems. Turned out Conner had another side to him, a darker side that Avery didn't see coming. He wrecked and broke her into a thousand pieces, leaving Avery to put herself back together. From then on, Avery vows never to let a man into her life again. But then she meets Tristan Morganson. He's sweet and sexy and wrecks Avery in a different way than Conner did, the kind of way that makes her feel alive again, the kind of way that makes her think maybe not all guys are bad. But can Avery trust him enough to let her walls come crumbling down?

The cobbled streets of Elmhaven resonated with the clatter of carts and the boisterous cries of vendors. Anya, a wisp of a girl with fiery red hair and eyes the color of a stormy sky, threaded through the throng, her worn cloak blending with the muted browns and grays of the crowd. Yet, beneath the cloak, hidden whispers thrummed through her veins, the faint echo of an ancient magic begging to be unleashed.
