Forever Flames

She was my forever.

Until she decided I wasn’t hers.

Stevie Hayes and I had the kind of love people envied—deep, effortless, undeniable. Childhood best friends. High school sweethearts. Engaged throughout college.

Our HEA was written in the stars.

Then I went on tour... and she chose to leave.

She didn’t trust I’d stay faithful. Or give me a chance to prove her wrong. Instead, she built a new life where I no longer belonged.

So I drowned myself chasing fame, fortune and one-night distractions. Convinced myself I was better off without her holding me back.

Until her world fell apart and I showed up. Without hesitation.

Because no matter how much time has passed, one thing hasn’t changed—I’d do anything for her.

She says it’s too late. That her heart isn’t mine to claim. That I’m the last person a single mother who’s rebuilding the career should let into her life.

But…I’ve never stopped loving her.

It’s my only chance to convince her I’m the only man she needs. This time, she’s not getting away.
