The battle is on. The town joke is, if Jack and I went up a hill to fetch water, one of us would get shoved down the slope. Me. I’d be shoving that great big cheating thorn in my side. Since we broke up, Jack finds every way possible to annoy me. And now he’s trying to beat me at the annual decorating contest?

No way.

He’s not going to show me up. Not happening. No more Ms. Nice Girl. Jack is going down. It’s either him or me in this town—and it’s going to be me.

Jack

She wants me to go down? Fine. I’m her man. Now, I have her attention, and I’m keeping it. And her.

Five years ago, I was murdered by my stalker.

Five years ago, I walked into another life because I couldn't leave behind my family.

Five years ago, I received a new family and got new problems. I've navigated it all the best I could, with one intent in mind: returning to my husband, my soul mate. But it's not as easy to reclaim my past as it was to walk into another body. How do I tell him who I am? How do I explain that I waited five years to come back to him? How do I navigate the heartbreak of being a stranger to the most important person in my life?

Worse, my murderer is still out there. And he's out to get me again.

I was minding my own business, backstage at the Spring Harbor music festival, when she walked in looking for her sister. Was I intrigued when she didn't recognize me and thought I was part of the crew? Yes.

Should I have told her the truth? Also yes.

Did I? Hard no.

As soon as I saw her, I wanted her. The second she told me her name, Sky, the same as the title of my first award-winning song, I knew she was fated to be mine. I wasn't letting a little thing like being a rock star get in the way of that. So what if she's my tour manager's sister? I'll do whatever it takes to win Sky's heart. Because I know the only thing that matters: Sky is mine.
