Finding Ever After

By Stephanie Hoffman McManus

She ran from her past for three years. Now it's come knocking.

Jaxyn never planned on returning to Boston. But after years of running from the ghosts that still haunt her dreams, she's done hiding. Back in the house where her childhood dreams ended, she's forced to face the friends she left behind-and the darkness she's tried so hard to forget.

The last thing she expects on her first night back is Kyden McCabe: a tattooed, pierced, maddeningly gorgeous musician who's as reckless as he is irresistible. He's cocky, chaotic, and everything Jaxyn knows she should avoid.

But Kyden isn't just wrong for her-he's dangerous to everything she's spent years trying to protect. Still, there's something about him that draws her in, a pull she can't explain and doesn't want to feel.

As her past resurfaces with terrifying force, threatening to steal her chance at happiness, Jaxyn must decide: can she trust a man who's nothing like the fairytale hero she dreamed of? Or is he exactly what she needs to finally write her own ending?

A story of trauma, healing, and the love you never saw coming-this is not your average happily ever
