He broke her heart to save her life. Now, he has to live with the ghost of their goodbye.

Aidan exists in the shadow of a life that isn't his own. Bound to a dangerous criminal enterprise by a debt he inherited, his only rule is to remain invisible. A ghost. He's a man who doesn't make connections, because connections are leverage his enemies can use.

Then, on a rain-swept city street, he meets Lila.

A quiet book restorer with honest eyes and a defiant smile, Lila is a light in Aidan's gray, lonely world. Their love is a stolen summer, a fleeting, desperate season of rooftop confessions and whispered secrets—a happiness he knows he has no right to.

But the darkness that follows Aidan has a name and a face. When his enemies mark Lila as collateral, Aidan is faced with a soul-shattering choice: hold on to the only woman he's ever loved and watch her get pulled into his violent world, or orchestrate a devastating goodbye to force her away forever.

Years later, a long-haul trucker haunted by memories, Aidan sees her again. She's happy, she's safe, and she's with a family of her own. He saved her... but the sight of the life she built without him might be the one thing that finally breaks him.
