Book 2 of the 'In Love' Saga Five years. That’s how long Ethan Jackson and Demyan Chernyshevsky-Coleman have gone without touching, without talking, without breaking. Five years of dodging family dinners. Five years of stolen glances across the room. Five years of pretending they were over each other. For Demyan, living in the shadow of two legends — Edward and Vasili — was hard enough. Forgetting the boy who owned his heart for a decade? Impossible. For Ethan, fighting to prove he belongs in a name-brand family came with a price. The price was him. The boy he loved. The only one. Now fate has thrown them back into the same room. Old wounds. New temptations. And family expectations that could destroy them both. Will their love survive a second chance... Or will new conquests ruin what was never really over? Read Edward in Love and its side story first to understand the beginning of this legendary family saga.
