HE NEVER LEFT.

From the back cover

Maya Lawson is used to things not working out.

No matter how hard she tries, every relationship ends the same way, confusing, sudden and impossible to explain.

But she's never really alone. Adrian Cole has always been there. He was stable and patient and he was always available to listen.

Things change when she meets Daniel Reed, she doesn't expect it to last. But it does.

For the first time, her relationship felt easy, safe and real.

Until Daniel is found dead.

And suddenly, Maya is no longer just grieving, she's the prime suspect.

The evidence doesn't make sense. Her alibi is falling apart. And the more she tries to defend herself, the deeper she sinks.

Adrian stays by her side through it all. Helping, guiding and protecting her.

Until Maya starts to notice something she can't ignore.

Every broken relationship. Every unexplained ending. Every time she thought she was just bad luck.

Adrian was there.

And this time, he didn't just ruin her life.

He may have destroyed it completely.
