From USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Ashley Jade comes a gritty, off-limits standalone romance about mistakes, choices, and love conquering all.
He was the mysterious dark knight always swooping in to save me when I needed it most.
I was the troubled girl with scars and a bleeding heart.
He was the gifted guitarist destined for big things.
I was the small-town girl battling her demons.
He was my earth....always keeping me grounded.
And I was his sky...always just out of his reach.
Our love was everything I wished for.
Until I destroyed it.
I never thought I'd see Memphis Payne again after I broke his heart, but the stars had other plans.
Because here he is...needing me to clean up his mess this time.
Only problem is...
Doing so will break both our hearts.
They say only the strongest love can survive an apocalypse.
That if two people are meant to be, they'll find their way back to each other.
I hope they're right.
