She’s the only girl he’s ever loved, but keeping her safe means he had to walk away… RYDER My entire life is a lie, propelled by one wrong decision that altered my fate. If fans knew the truth, they’d run away screaming. But all they see is Ryder Stone, moody guitarist and lead singer of Torment, and a potential notch on their bedpost. Only two people know who I really am. My manager has a vested interest in keeping my secret, and the girl I was forced to leave behind doesn’t even know the true extent of my shame. Losing Zeta is both my biggest regret and my proudest moment. But she was the glue keeping me together, and I’m struggling to survive without her. Especially when demons from my past continue to haunt me and the threat of disclosure is ever present. When she reappears in my life, this time, I’m too weak to push her away. Her love has the power to save me. Mine has the power to destroy her. ZETA I’ve worked hard to forget my past. To rise above my messed-up childhood and make something of myself; however, there’s no forgetting him. Ryder’s gorgeous face and drool-worthy body are plastered over tabloids and TV screens, reminding me I’m still in love with the boy who captured my heart in juvie. When he failed me, I thought I’d never again experience such heart-crushing pain. But watching him fall out of clubs with a succession of different girls renews the agony, resurrecting countless unanswered questions. Now my boss has sent me to interview him. It’s a massive scoop for the magazine, and turning it down would kill my career. So, I delude myself into thinking I can handle this. Perhaps this is the closure I need to finally move on. Except I’m terrified nothing has changed and one look into those soulful eyes will suck me in again. Ryder almost destroyed me last time. This time, he could ruin me forever. Full-length standalone title. Due to sensitive content and possible triggers, this book is recommended to readers aged eighteen and older.

The blurb teaser for this one couldn't have been more right! There is so much angst in this book and so many secrets I finally just said "Once and for all could you all just be honest with each other?" and I thought that would be it, but no, there were even more secrets!
I liked the story here, how Ryder knew that he couldn't just say he was sorry and have Zeta accept that he was truly sorry, but he had to show her and take it slow. I did not like that every time it seemed like they were on the right track that something else would pop up to block them from finally being happy together. My favorite character was Zeta because she was still in love with Ryder, but she was protective of her heart after putting herself back together again at least once already.
Know that this is not instalove and you will be super frustrated, but there is a payoff and it's a nice one. Enjoy!
0Holy hot damn! This book has left me speechless. Siobhan had yet again did the damn thing with this one. It has everything. Suspense love hate drama action suspense . You name it , it's there. This has got to be my second favorite standalone from her. Zeta and Ryder's relationship really stand the tests of time and all the hardships they endured made them stronger. They way they love eachother is of that you see in fairy tales and one of which every girls dreams of.
