When he sees her again, he's resolved to make one glimpse of her sustain him for another ten years. When she offers him one night together, Theo can't say no—even though he knows a taste will only tempt him to hope for more all over again.

Lyssa has tasted forbidden fruit...

And she can't forget it, no matter how hard she tries. Theo's love is a touchstone for all that is pure and good in the chaos her life has become. When she sees him again, everything is simple for once and only one choice is possible. The secret she keeps from Theo could destroy any chance of a future together, but surely she can keep it hidden for just one more night. Or maybe two.
