On the Way Down
She wanted answers. What she found was a second chance at love... and new questions she didn't bargain for.
Delaney Sharpe never thought her past would come crashing back into her life—or that it would involve Phoenix Alden, the boyfriend who walked out on her six years ago during his rise to Hollywood fame.
When Phoenix returns after a career nosedive, tabloid scandal, and time away from the spotlight, he's older, sober, and full of regret. And when he asks Del for a second chance, she's torn. She once dreamed of their reunion—before she built her own success as a novelist and moved on. But she can't deny the spark that still burns between them.
As old feelings resurface, Del starts to fall for Phoenix all over again. But when her book research leads to troubling questions about a missing woman he knew, she must uncover the truth about the last few years of his life to decide if he's a danger to more than just her heart.
A second-chance romance with a twist of suspense, On the Way Down is a page-turning story of unfinished business, unexpected healing, and a love that that could be worth the risk... or the riskiest choice.
