“I used to think pain was temporary.

Now I lift it.

Now I sleep beside it.”



In Book 3 of Indigo Slate’s darkly addictive Permanent Damage series, Stefanie is back—but she’s not the same. Haunted by a past that left scars deeper than any workout could train away, she’s doing everything she can to rebuild a life worth living.

This is not a love story.

This is a rep-by-rep reckoning.
