Legacy

He gives her his word-he'll do whatever it takes to safeguard her secret. Even if it means losing her to another man.

For Melody Clio, it's complicated.

Thomas Gentry has everything to offer-wealth, security, stability, and even an engagement ring with her name on it. But it's not enough to make her forget him. The one who still owns her heart. The one who belongs in a part of her past she hopes Thom will never discover.

For Lijah Driver, it's simple.

The past ten years have taught him the same hard lesson over and over: his life is worthless without her. So, when his first love, the girl who went missing, returns to the scene of the tragedy, Lijah will do anything, say anything, promise her anything to stop her from running away again-even if keeping his promise means losing her to a "better man."

After fleeing from her dangerous past, Melody never imagined returning to Linderhaven, but it's a mission she must undertake to secure her future with Thom. However, her plans are compromised when she is recognized by the last person she ever expected to find there-Elijah Meadows. No longer the boy who once captured her heart, but a man with the power to electrify her senses and stir her long-buried desires. She soon learns that she can trust him, not only to keep her secrets but to respect the boundaries of their new relationship.

The question for Melody is whether she can trust herself.

The question for Lijah is what will happen if Melody learns that Elijah Meadows never really existed.
