Redeemer

By Charisma Toplu

Holly Lyle has spent a decade building a life with clean lines - a fast-rising marketing career, a closet full of blazers, a five-year plan with no room for chaos.

Rock clubs are not part of it. But her friends drag her to a show anyway, and the lead singer prowling the stage looks like exactly the kind of trouble she's spent years avoiding.

Then he says his name.

Izumi Kanbe isn't a stranger. He's the reckless older brother of her best friend, who even dismissed him as a loser - the one Holly promised herself she'd never think about twice. Now he's the frontman of a band with a dark reputation, and she wants nothing to do with him.

Her body disagrees. Every time Holly tells herself this is the last time, she ends up back in his bed anyway, telling herself it means nothing, that a man who looks like every red flag she's ever been warned about could never be anything more than an unfortunate mistake she keeps making.

Izumi doesn't want a mistake. He wants her - all of her, awake and staying. Holly isn't sure she believes people like him actually change. She isn't sure she believes in herself enough to find out.

It might just take losing everything for both of them to stop pretending they have a choice.
