Poison & Wine Melissa Toppen

It's funny how differently we view life when we're young. Everything feels possible- limitless. If only things could stay that way forever. Then maybe life wouldn't be so complicated. Maybe Jace would still be the same ten-year-old boy I fell in love with. Maybe I'd still be that same girl too. The girl who believed that there wasn't anything we couldn't overcome. But I'm not that girl anymore. Time has beaten me down, broken me, taken everything from me. And it's taken even more from Jace. I naively believed that I could save him... From his dad. From his anger. From his addiction. And I nearly died trying. It's taken me four years to rebuild my life. To piece my shattered heart back together. But it all goes up in flames the moment I find myself face to face with the one person I never thought I'd see again. He's determined to prove he's changed. I'm terrified to let him try. Because no matter how sweet it tastes, with Jace Matthews you never truly know if what you're drinking is poison or wine, until it's already too late. Poison & Wine is a complete standalone, second chance romance.
