Description

Love is a weakness. I still want her.

Joe × Lissa

He broke my heart with a text.

Now I'm walking into an opulent club on Valentine's Day without him.

I tell myself I'm fine. I tell myself I'm over it. But the truth is uglier: I'm furious, I'm aching, and I'd rather make one reckless choice than spend another night pretending I don't miss him. So when my friend shoves a V-Date profile in my hands, I let the app match me with a stranger… because at least a stranger can't hurt me the way Joe did.

Joe is the kind of man who looks at me like sin and calls it protection. He doesn't apologize. He doesn't explain. He just keeps his distance like I'm something fragile—something he could ruin if he gets too close.

But I'm not fragile. And I'm done being "spared."

I came here to forget him.

Instead, I end up exactly where he never wanted me—inside the darkness he's been hiding.

Because whatever Joe is…

he doesn't let go of what he's claimed. And if someone else touches what he still thinks is his?

He won't just take me back.

He'll make me beg for it.
