Can time heal what betrayal shattered?
Maggie Ward thought she had buried her past along with the man who broke her heart, and nearly broke her. Once engaged to Caleb Rourke, a brilliant intelligence operative turned ghost, Maggie now leads a quiet life far from the shadows of covert missions and emotional landmines.
But fate has other plans.
When Maggie is unexpectedly reunited with Caleb at a friend's wedding, the spark they once shared reignites, but so do the secrets that tore them apart. Caleb isn't just back... he's carrying knowledge that could unravel global memory networks and restart a deadly psychological war. And he's not the only one haunted by the past.
Pulled back into a world of espionage, betrayal, and a high-stakes conspiracy known only as Requiem, Maggie and Caleb must race against time to stop a neural weapon that can turn love into control, and memory into a lie.
Will they stop the war before it begins again?
Or will their second chance at love come at the ultimate cost?
Second First Kiss is a gripping romantic suspense thriller about fractured trust, dangerous truths, and the power of love to rewrite even the darkest history.
