Everyone needs to read this book. I’m certain you won’t feel a single
regret. " - Harloe Rae, USA Today Bestselling author.
From Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Washington Post bestselling author
L.J. Shen comes a new, standalone romance about first loves, betrayal
and loss.
Not all love stories are written the same way. Ours had torn chapters,
missing paragraphs, and a bittersweet ending.
Luna Rexroth is everyone’s favorite wallflower. Sweet. Caring.
Charitable. Quiet. Fake. Underneath the meek, tomboy exterior everyone
loves (yet pities) is a girl who knows exactly what, and who, she
wants―namely, the boy from the treehouse who taught her how to curse in
sign language. Who taught her how to laugh. To live. To love.
Knight Cole is everyone’s favorite football hero. Gorgeous. Athletic.
Rugged. Popular. Liar. This daredevil hell-raiser could knock you up
with his gaze alone, but he only has eyes for the girl across the
street: Luna.
But Luna is not who she used to be. She doesn’t need his protection
anymore. When life throws a curveball at All Saints’ golden boy, he’s
forced to realize not all knights are heroes. Sometimes, the greatest
love stories flourish in tragedy.

They call him an angry god. To me, he is nothing but a heartless
prince. His parents rule this town, its police, every citizen and
boutique on Main Street. All I own is a nice, juicy grudge against him
for that time he almost killed me. Between hooking up with a different
girl every weekend, breaking hearts, noses and rules, Vaughn also finds
the time to bully little ole’ me. I fight back, tooth and nail, never
expecting him to chase me across the ocean after we graduate high
school.
But here he is, living with me in a dark, looming castle on the
outskirts of London. A fellow intern. A prodigal sculptor. A bloody
genius. They say this place is haunted, and it is. Carlisle Castle
hides two of our most awful secrets. Vaughn thinks he can kill the
ghosts of his past, but what he doesn’t know? It’s my heart he’s
slaying.
