Can Bruce and Mariam overcome the obstacles that first tore them apart?

Bruce Canyon is spiraling. Recently seeing the only woman he’s ever had strong feelings for will do that. Mariam was someone he opened up to—made him feel human again, despite his demons and what everyone else saw—an outlandish bad boy bordering on depravity. To cope, he’s returned to his old vices—ones he never sought when with her. He’s not proud of it and familiar self-loathing seeps in. He leaves NYC for the only place he calls home—his houseboat in Santa Barbara. Alone, licking his wounds, he realizes he may never get over her.

Mariam Abbas is miserable. Misjudging the only man she ever trusted—first as a friend, then lover, has that effect. Seeing him again only makes her face how much she misses him. The agony of how they—she—ended things settles bone deep. Was she mistaken? She resolves to make things right between them, certain that it’s the friendship she’s after, not the passion. But chasing a stubborn devil amid self-destruction is agonizing. She chases anyway, determined to meet his anger head-on and correct the wrongs she made.

What follows is a consuming, all too familiar hunger filled with their undeniable feelings. It begs to be asked, are ‘they’ worth revisiting?

But, nothing is ever easy when it comes to these two. Bruce’s aristocratic English family comes knocking, convincing him home to address a long-ignored responsibility. In a twist of fate, he’s pushed to a life-altering decision and must choose between family tradition or his savior—ultimately the love of his life.
