About this listen

From USA Today best-selling Author Aly Martinez comes an emotional new standalone.

Growing up, Ramsey Stewart branded my soul in ways time could never heal.

At 12, he asked me to be his girlfriend.

At 13, he gave me my first kiss.

By 16, we’d fallen in love, planned a future together, and had our eyes set on the horizon.

Love never fails, right?

But for Ramsey, it did.

Love failed him.

I failed him.

The entire world failed him.

At 17, Ramsey was convicted of killing the boy who assaulted me.

"Move on", he wrote in his first and only letter from prison.

"Start a new life", he urged.

"I don’t love you anymore", he lied.

There was no such thing as giving up on Ramsey. Love may have been our curse, but he was mine - then, now, and forever.

So here I am, 12 long years later, waiting for a man I don't even know to emerge from between the chain link gates.

Yeah ok so this was a long awaited & drawn out love that really had me laughing & crying along with the characters. Such sad circumstances & such true devotion of friendship & love. I enjoyed the writing style & especially the way the narrators brought it to life. Well done.

Raw emotions all the way through…

The story is so different to anything I’ve listened to before. It had me hooked from the start, I couldn’t stop. Thea & Ramsey were made for each other, and the journey they go through was real and had my heart.

So bloody good!
