Backdraft (The Secret Life of Trystan Scott 2)

Volume 2 in the Trystan Scott Serials by New York Times Bestselling Author H.M. Ward



When Mari realizes that Trystan is the internet megastar, Day Jones, she can’t speak. Every time she listens to his song, it leaves her feeling so much. That song is bewitching. Everyone she knows has heard it. As soon as it appeared on YouTube, it went viral, and then the guy who wrote it disappeared. Despite agents and record labels trying to lure Day5705 out, he remains anonymous. No one knows who Day Jones really is—except Mari.



To Trystan’s relief, Mari agrees to keep his secret. Part of him regrets uploading the song, but singing the song that once brought him solace to Mari fills him with joy. In a life like his, joy is fleeting, and Trystan plans on grabbing hold whenever a shot at happiness appears. To his surprise, Mari doesn't realize the song is about her. When Trystan tries to push her to see, he jeopardizes losing her entirely.



One misplaced kiss topples the fragile relationship, leaving Trystan reeling, trying to assemble the pieces and convincing Mari that she’s not just another conquest, even though everything he did—everything he said—makes it seem like she is. It isn't until Mari decides that being the good girl isn't working that things steam up. Trystan knows she wants to hook up with someone, and he doesn't know if he should stop her. Every attempt he makes to win her over goes badly and pushes her further away.



As the world gets closer to tracking down Day Jones, Trystan gets closer to graduation and leaving this life forever. If Mari doesn't realize he loves her by then, she never will.
