Unrequited

"Unrequited" What happens when a desperate plea for help reunites old flames under the shadow of a murder accusation? Unexpectedly... a chance to rekindle a love that never truly died.Sophie

Life in LA was supposed to be my fresh start, far away from the small-town memories of Cold Spring. But one night-one moment of being in the wrong place at the wrong time-shatters everything. Accused of a crime I didn't commit, I have nowhere to turn but to DJ, the man whose heart I broke when I left. Reaching out to him is a gamble; trusting him with my life is even more so. DJ's always been my rock, even when I pushed him away. Now, I need him more than ever. But the Sophie he remembers-the girl he loved-is gone, replaced by someone who's learned to fight her own battles. Yet, with every obstacle we face, the old feelings resurface, both sweet and painful. Can the remnants of our past pave the way for redemption, or will this crisis only deepen the wounds we've inflicted on each other?DJ

The call from Sophie turns my world upside down. The accusations against her are as unbelievable as they are terrifying. Dropping everything to rush to her side is instinctual, but nothing prepares me for the reality of the situation. LA has changed Sophie, hardened her in ways I hadn't imagined. Yet, beneath the fa?ade, I see glimpses of the girl I never stopped loving. Proving Sophie's innocence means unraveling a web of lies and deceit in a city that thrives on secrets. As we navigate the murky waters of LA's justice system and the even more dangerous currents of our own unresolved relationship, I'm forced to confront the possibility that our love might remain unrequited. --- In Unrequited, the second series in the Heartlines Trilogy, Sophie and DJ's journey tests the boundaries of love, loyalty, and sacrifice. As they fight to clear Sophie's name, they must also battle their own hearts. Will the truth set them free, or will it be the final blow to their tenuous bond?
