Endless by Kaylene Winter
She ripped out my heart…
My only dream is to escape my abusive childhood.
Leading Less Than Zero to the top of the charts is my ticket out.
Until Zoey Pearson gives me a new dream.
And passion beyond anything I thought possible.
Nothing prepared me for it to end. Abruptly. Definitively.
My songs of heartbreak have made LTZ the biggest band in the universe.
But nothing I do can make me forget her…
I let him go so he could follow his dreams…
My love of music led me to Ty.
He’s a gorgeous, sweet rocker who was made just for me.
The man he trusts most asked me to let him go.
So I did and I’m having a hard time living with my decision.
Now he’s the hottest rock star in the world
Because of chart-topping songs that eviscerate me.
Ty’s changed, he’s immersed in a life of excess and debauchery.
I don’t recognize the man I can’t stop loving…
When fate throws us together eight years later, fireworks are explosive.
But our hearts are still fragile.
Will Ty forgive Zoey for shattering his heart?
Or will his past bad deeds come back to destroy her?
ENDLESS is a steamy, complicated, angsty, rollercoaster, delicious second chance romance…a coming of age journey spanning nearly a decade.
I burrowed into my delicious rocker’s side, breathing in his manly scent, a mix of leather and grapefruit body wash. I reached up to carefully brush a long, chocolate-brown wave from Tyson’s full lips while he slept deeply. His long, silky hair cascaded over the pillow; his square jaw was covered with the beginnings of a beard because he hadn’t shaved in a few days. It made my sweet rocker look slightly dangerous. Gazing at the three small scars nearly hidden in his thick, dark eyebrows, I still couldn’t fathom how tough his childhood was and how anyone could hurt such a beautiful soul.
My breath hitched. I tried to memorize everything about him, to soak in every detail of my gorgeous man. I knew I was about to hurt him, and it destroyed me. When I traced my finger over a smattering of his rough stubble, he sighed in his sleep and pulled me in even closer. I held him tightly too, resting my head on his lithe but defined chest and gripped his hip, careful not to rouse him. I wished I could gaze into the pools of his deep-blue eyes one more time.
If only I didn’t have to leave him.
I was moving to Bellingham to embark upon my new normal, living with a roommate in a dorm and working toward my college degree in social services. Ty’s band departed for their first tour in a few hours, traveling cross-country in a small van for six months. Letting him sleep was important. It would be grueling enough spending long hours in such cramped quarters without the added weight of heartbreak. The least I could do was let him get some rest now.
So I laid for as long as I could against my love and listened to his heartbeat. My mind was a hamster wheel. Second-guessing. Third-guessing. Then—resolved. I had been asked by possibly the most influential person in his life to do something for Ty. For his future. As much as I didn’t want to, leaving him now was the right thing for me to do. But it didn’t make it any less devastating.
When my tears wet his chest, I knew it was time to go or I’d wake him. My heart seized in agony at the thought of never seeing him again. I wasn’t sure how I’d survive. Yet, I knew that I had to set him completely free, without any ties to me, so he could embrace his shot at fame.
Maybe someday Ty would understand why I left him.
Maybe someday he’d forgive me.
