Publisher Description
Alma Weber
He told me that he'd destroy me.
I knew he wasn't lying, and I loved him anyway.
I believed in love—in him.
I just wasn't prepared to carry the weight of his demons.
I wanted forever with him, but life showed me love was temporary, and forever was a dream.
Despite everything that happened, even now, I wouldn't change any of it.
For a love to have the capacity to destroy you, it has to be extraordinarily powerful—and that kind of love is impossible to walk away from.
Leo Harding
I warned her that I'd ruin her. I knew that I'd taint her innocence with my bad intentions.
I was weak.
She was perfection.
I was nothing.
The truth is that I loved her, and I selfishly wanted to hold on—to her, to the man she had made me, to the life we could have.
I wanted to dance with her in the light despite knowing that the darkness would find me anyway.
Heartbreak was inevitable.
Yet I held on to the sliver of hope that I was wrong, that love really was enough.
Destiny isn't something I buy into, but she makes me want to believe.
***Intended for readers 18+ due to mature content.

Absolutely loved this novel!! I couldn’t put it down! From the smiles to the tears, it was amazing!
Bared Souls
Yes, this is very different from anything Ellie Wade has written in the past but I loved it just the same if not more than all her other books.
Leo was a heartbreaking character, he came off very rough in the beginning but as we got to see deeper into his true character, the love he had for Alma was undeniable and so heartfelt. He had some beautiful words for her and I swooned many times. His past and childhood made me ache and explained how he was so easily pulled into to the escape drugs gave him. Alma had her own difficult childhood but she also had her best friend Amos on her side and with his help she was able to thrive. They were opposites but so perfect for each other. They went through many ups and downs and ups and downs but I wouldn’t want to spoil anything. I’ll only say it has a bittersweet ending and you will need tissues several times.
Beautiful heartbreaking story
