Aftershocks (Fault Lines Book 2)

Book two in the the Fault Lines duology. I thought taking Cam back meant healing. But love after betrayal isn’t the same—it’s fragile, tentative, built on pieces that don’t quite fit anymore. I tell myself I’m fine. That the distance between us will close if I just keep trying. But nights stretch longer, conversations fade shorter, and the man I once trusted with my whole heart feels like a stranger I can’t stop reaching for. The harder I fight to save us, the more I lose myself. So I start to pull away—bit by bit—learning how to breathe on my own again. Somewhere between the silence and the ache, I find small freedoms: laughter, solitude, the quiet thrill of rediscovering who I am without him. That’s when he appears. Unexpected. Steady. The kind of presence that doesn’t demand, only sees. With him, everything feels different—soft where my life has been sharp, effortless where it’s been exhausting. He listens. He laughs. He looks at me like I’m something worth choosing. But love isn’t simple, and hearts don’t always heal cleanly. As the fault lines between past and present shift, I’ll have to decide what I’m willing to risk—and who I’m ready to love—when the ground finally settles. Aftershocks is a tender, passionate story about rediscovering yourself through love, and the unexpected second chances that rise from the ruins. View Less
