Free Fall Duet
We survived the fall. Now we have to survive each other.
I’d known both brothers my entire life. Owen was kind, safe—the obvious choice. Knox was cruel, reckless, and everything I should have stayed away from.
I chose Owen.
But when a rollercoaster accident changes everything in a matter of seconds, I’m left with only the brother I was never supposed to want.
Now Knox and I are bound by tragedy, guilt, and a connection that feels both inevitable and wrong. Everyone thinks we’re leaning on each other to heal. They don’t know about the thoughts I had in those final moments. The secrets we discovered after. The way Knox looks at me like he’s been waiting for this his entire life.
They don’t know that somewhere between the grief and the accusations, something darker emerged.
Something that makes us seek each other out in the middle of the night.
Something that makes us crave the pain as much as the comfort.
Something that should scare us both.
They say trauma changes you. What they don’t tell you is that sometimes it just reveals who you were all along.
Knox was always the wrong choice. Maybe that’s exactly why I can’t let him go.
Book 1 of a Duet about forbidden love, trauma bonding, and the thin line between healing and destruction. This is a dark romance featuring morally gray characters, toxic relationship dynamics, and mature themes.
We survived the fall. Now comes the reckoning.
I had every reason to hate Knox Aldrich. He was cruel. Cold. Calculating. He looked at me like I was his entire world while he was building a life with someone else.
I took that pain and used it to start fresh. New school, new plans, a life without him.
It was working. Until it wasn’t.
Because Knox doesn’t let go of things he considers his. He hunted me down. Watched me. Followed me into the life I was trying to build like he had some claim on it — on me.
I don’t hate it as much as I should.
But Knox isn’t just dangerous for my heart. He’s carrying secrets that were never meant to surface. Dark ones. The kind that could rock the foundation of everything I’ve ever known.
We dug too deep, and what we found isn't half as explosive as our relationship.
My fresh start was never going to happen. It always ended here — with Knox, with the truth, with everything finally on fire.
