**Warning: Contains book 1 spoilers Kiernan Parks settled all the scores. He finished what he set out to do and then . . . he left. He left Jade. Heartbroken and weary. Existing one day to the next. One breath after another. The only way she knew how to move forward, forever missing a piece of her heart. Until an unexpected surprise throws her volatile life into upheaval once more. He left Caulder. Guilt-ridden and grieving. Fighting to hold it all together. Not just for himself, but for the people he cares about. Staggering under the weight of his obligations. He left them alone. He left them together.
