Six years ago, I made the critical mistake of falling in love with my best friend. Even worse? He fell for me too. But beautiful things are fleeting. The onset of my depression blinded me to the warning signs and when I needed him most, he vanished with only a cryptic note. Now, as I finish college in the town we swore we’d escape, I’m finding myself more lost than ever. Trying to drown out the misery in my mind, I tag along to a party when the ghost of my past returns looking as haunted as me. I can’t fall for Win Rhodes again. I won’t survive it. But he’s not giving me a choice.
