博客來Having witnessed the fracture in her parents’ ＂perfect＂ marriage, Emma was left with one unbreakable vow: she will find a love strong enough to endure. But two years with her last boyfriend, Matt, proved only one thing: she would never come last again.
When the devastatingly handsome Josh from her extended circle takes a deep interest in her, the connection is explosive and immediate. Josh doesn’t just give her attention; he fulfills every unspoken wish, igniting a passion and sensuality she never knew she possessed. Emma finally tastes the happiness she’s always craved, yet a deep, instinctive fear whispers: How long until it all falls apart?
Josh has a secret, woven deep into his DNA by a traumatic family legacy that has convinced him he is permanently broken. He loves Emma desperately, but he refuses to marry her, terrified that his genes and his history will inevitably turn him into the man he hates.
Emma, blinded by a fiery love, sees only the man she can save. She believes her passion is the cure for his haunting darkness. But when Josh’s past begins to bleed into their present, blurring the lines between commitment and chaos, Emma faces a devastating reality.
Is her love strong enough to heal a trauma that isn’t hers? Or will Josh’s failures-the failures he never thought he could escape-cost Emma her heart, her future, and ultimately, herself?
