A lost movie star.
A former addict.
And a love story that feels dangerously close to obsession.
Ryan Marley has everything-fame, talent, success-and absolutely no one he trusts. Betrayed by the people who were supposed to protect him, the self-destructive actor has chosen isolation over disappointment. It's safer to be alone than to care again.
Until Virginia Porter shows up.
Virginia is the last woman Ryan should want. She's the sister-in-law-to-be of his former best friend, the living reminder of relationships gone wrong, and completely immune to his charm. She sees through him-and worse, she challenges him. From the moment she enters his life, she gets under his skin in ways he can't ignore.
The attraction is volatile. Unwelcome. Inevitable.
But Virginia knows danger when she sees it. As a former addict, she recognizes the warning signs in Ryan's spiral. Loving him feels less like romance and more like temptation-and she's worked too hard to survive to risk losing herself again.
So the question isn't whether they want each other.
It's whether love can heal... or if it's just another addiction waiting to destroy them both.
Never & Forever is an angsty, emotional, and spicy enemies-to-lovers romance about desire, relapse, forgiveness, and choosing love when it terrifies you the most.
"A poignant story of heartache, hope, and forgiveness."
