"You'll be my shooting star"
Those words have echoed in my mind ever since Aurora walked away. Left with the heartache of losing my forever, I had no choice but to bury myself in work, keeping my distance from The Family to avoid exile.
The trade-off? I became one of the East Coast's top homicide detectives.
Or I was... until a new case hit too close to home.
Leading straight to Stevie—a cocktail server with a sharp tongue and a past as haunted as my own.
From the very beginning, she makes it clear that she holds a strong disdain for me, yet we share a mutual objective: to take down her ex, the main suspect in my murder investigation.
As our tension escalates into a dangerous game, the emotional walls I've erected start to fall.
In a world suddenly engulfed by lies, betrayals, and fatal missteps, all signs point to the one woman who refuses to leave my thoughts, and I know I can’t have her.
