One moment destroyed our perfect love.

This is an emotional, angsty, tearjerker Why Choose? Romance Duet by USA Today Bestselling Author Claudia Burgoa.

I fell in love with Archer St. James long ago. We were children, but our hearts just knew it. We were soulmates. Our love was eternal.

But it wasn't.

My future and my heart shattered the day he died. Well, they say he died, but I still sense him. They call it ghost pains. It's like my soul can't live without him.

And after seven years, I'm almost ready to let him go... There are two men who claimed to care for meβ€”even love me. One looks almost like the man I lost. The other is so different, but the invisible link between us pulls me to him.

My already shattered heart is torn between the past, the present, and a dangerous future with two men.

The End of Me is the first book of The Downfall of Us Duet. An angst-filled Why Choose? MMF romance about broken hearts, loss, and hope.
