Until You

Jared Trent has spent years angry and indifferent, and he has pushed away nearly everyone around him. Tatum, his former best friend, is the exception. He broke her trust, and she left for a year abroad.

Now Tatum is back. She has changed, and she will not tolerate his games any longer. Without her, Jared feels nothing at all, so he keeps pulling her close, and the two are drawn into a conflict more intense than the one before.

The book is narrated by Jared and retells the events of Bully from his side. It follows the year Tatum was away, with flashbacks to their shared childhood, and it carries the story on past the end of the first book.

It is the second book in the Fall Away series and reads best after Bully. It is an adult contemporary romance with graphic sex, strong language and violence. The question it turns on is whether a boy who feels nothing without her can earn back the person whose trust he broke.
