What do you get when your broken pieces are too broken to repair? A destructive relationship that’s dangerous.

Mystic Mystic Anderson was broken, and she knew this. However, she had no idea why. Her parents were wonderfully supportive, she got along nicely with her brother and sister, they lived in a great neighborhood, and she was well on her way to graduating high school. So, with all that going for her, how did she end up so broken and lost?

With a secret that nobody will understand, Mystic has been living with her broken pieces for as long as she can remember. While most people would probably get help for their issues, Mystic wasn’t looking to be cured of her affliction. She had a coping mechanism, even if it was an unhealthy one. Still, she couldn’t see herself ever walking away from Gage Evans, no matter what.

Gage Gage Evans was evil, and he knew this. He also knew exactly why. On the surface, he had the perfect life. He was popular, good-looking, athletic, lived in a goddamn mansion, both his parents were doctors, and he was well on his way to graduating high school. So, with all that going for him, how did he end up so evil and unconscionable?

With a secret that nobody will understand, Gage has been dealing with his demons since he was twelve. While he knows it’s wrong and should seek help for the darkness he harbors, he has no desire to cure himself of all the things that are wrong with him. Damaged beyond what most people can accept, one person accepts him just fine. Mystic Anderson is his saving grace, and he will never let her go.

When life has other plans… Ten years later, Mystic is a shell of her former self. Estranged from her family, she has only one friend who she can trust and a job that is as mundane as her life. When her new job put her face-to-face with Gage Evans again, it’s obvious that she hasn’t been cured of him.

Ten years later, Gage is as cold and as ruthless as he’s ever been. The only people he can tolerate are his mother and best friend, everyone else can go screw themselves. When he comes face-to-face with Mystic Anderson again, it’s obvious that he’s still as angry as the day she left him.

With desire and rage warring with each other, can Gage forgive Mystic for all those missing years? Better yet, can Mystic forgive Gage for the heartache she’s had to endure? And can they figure it out before one destroys the other?
