Gage: I lost my first love. This time, I'm going to win the second girl who owns my heart—no matter the stakes. Being the drummer for Raging Chaos is the only thing that’s kept me going for the past six years. Even the music isn’t enough to drown out the guilt that's been suffocating me since what happened to Tori. When Sadie storms into my life, ripping through my trepidations, sorrows, and bitterness, I can't help but wonder if she could be my second chance. I could love her, but in order to do that, I have to stop hating myself first. Easier said than done. Before I have the chance to mend this broken heart, I push Sadie away and hit rock bottom. The next time I see her, she has a baby. And if that's not hurtful enough, it's not just any baby. It’s my baby. Sadie: Bleeding hearts can still beat. I'm living proof of that. At first, Gage was just someone to take away the pain—until I realized he was battling demons of his own. I never meant to get too close to the devil with the drumsticks, but once I did, he shoved me out of his life with a force. My heart might be cracked, but his is completely broken. And trying to save him would destroy us both. So, I do the right thing and I walk away—not only to protect me but also our unborn baby. I had no idea who Gage was to the world when I slipped into his bed. Now that I'm out of it, it's clear he’ll have to clean up his act before he’s father material. But then we meet again, and I'm reminded of the man he could be. The man he was born to be, before tragedy struck and the chaos left his heart barely beating.
