Glass Eden Saga Series by Rhayne Ardor

Jade doesn’t talk about her past. She sleeps with the lights on. She checks her phone before she breathes. She names her plants like old friends and carries them from city to city like proof she can still keep something alive. Running is perfect. On tour, she’s harder to find. Different cities every night. No permanent address. No routine to trace. Taking a job as staff with Glass Eden wasn’t part of the plan—but constant motion leaves no trail. Kade Monroe notices everything... moreJade doesn’t talk about her past. She sleeps with the lights on. She checks her phone before she breathes. She names her plants like old friends and carries them from city to city like proof she can still keep something alive. Running is perfect. On tour, she’s harder to find. Different cities every night. No permanent address. No routine to trace. Taking a job as staff with Glass Eden wasn’t part of the plan—but constant motion leaves no trail. Kade Monroe notices everything. Glass Eden’s most guarded guitarist built his life around control and silence. He keeps his world small, his circle smaller, and his distance carefully measured. He doesn’t pry. He doesn’t chase. He doesn’t make promises he can’t keep. But he sees the flinch she tries to hide. The way she laughs like she’s out of practice. The way she braces for impact that never comes. He doesn’t ask for her secrets. He just stays. Close enough to see the darkness she thinks she hides. Close enough to want to burn the world down for whatever put it there. And running works—until it doesn’t. Because danger has a way of catching up. When Jade’s past finally finds her, she learns there are different kinds of dark—. and his is the kind that protects.

Alistair Evans has spent fourteen years outrunning the boy he used to be. The one who loved too hard. The one who broke the only thing that ever felt like home. Now he’s the frontman of Glass Eden — brilliant, reckless, and burning through everything that gets too close. He fills the silence with noise, bodies, and motion, anything to avoid standing still long enough to feel the weight of his past. Leigha knows what it’s like to be left behind... moreAlistair Evans has spent fourteen years outrunning the boy he used to be. The one who loved too hard. The one who broke the only thing that ever felt like home. Now he’s the frontman of Glass Eden — brilliant, reckless, and burning through everything that gets too close. He fills the silence with noise, bodies, and motion, anything to avoid standing still long enough to feel the weight of his past. Leigha knows what it’s like to be left behind. She learned early how to survive on the edges of rooms, how to make herself smaller, quieter, easier to overlook. Loving Alistair once nearly destroyed her. She didn’t fall apart — she rebuilt herself into someone strong enough to walk away. Until the universe puts them back on the same tour. Older. Sharper. Carrying wounds that never fully healed. The pull between them is immediate and dangerous, a gravity neither of them knows how to escape. But wanting each other isn’t the same as being ready, and love doesn’t erase fourteen years of damage. Some stars collapse quietly. Others take everything with them. The question is —. when the past comes crashing back into the present, will love be enough to survive the fallout…. or will the gravity of a dying star finally pull them under? less

A pause between tours she needs more than she’ll admit. Caring for her four-year-old sister has reshaped everything—her priorities, her boundaries, and what she’s willing to risk for love. She expects celebration, familiarity, and the careful distance she’s learned to maintain. Roman isn’t the boy she remembers. He’s steadier now. More deliberate. Still devastating in all the ways that matter. What they share never truly ended—but it never healed, either. Surrounded by bandmates, family, and the relentless closeness of celebration, Wren and Roman are forced to confront the truth they’ve been circling for years: wanting each other isn’t enough if they don’t know how to stay. And love—real love—doesn’t exist in isolation anymore. Because this time, the stakes aren’t just their hearts. They’re building something that will have witnesses. Revelry, Interrupted is the emotional conclusion to The Ruin and Revelry Duet and the final installment in the Glass Eden saga—a second-chance rockstar romance about growth, chosen family, and learning how to love without burning everything down. less
