A novel by

 
 
I believe moments define us. A split-second decision can shape your future, and you don’t realize it until it’s too late.
A scared, agonizing choice ruins mine.

I’m scarred, hateful, and nothing a beauty like Peyton will want. So when I come face to face with her, I pretend not to be
MoodyKing1, her gamer friend King.
The choice changes everything.
She marries my best friend, Theodore. For years, I watch her with him. I try to move on. I try to let her go, but I can’t. I have to come clean to her, even if it’s five years too late. I don’t get to tell her then either, though, because Theodore dies, leaving her and an unborn child behind.
I’ll be there for her, even when she fights me every step of the way. Nothing is ever easy. I learn that again when the impossible happens. Theodore’s inside her house, roaming the halls, and I’m the only one who can see him. He’s determined to keep me away from Peyton. I’m more determined to do what I couldn’t before:
Take the chance I was too afraid to take before. My
only shot at happiness. I tried living without Peyton, but I can’t do it any longer.
A ghost isn’t my only problem when it comes to getting the girl. What happens when she learns who I am? Or will Theodore’s existence in a world he doesn’t belong in destroy everything?

Trigger/content warnings can be found at the beginning of book!

my Peyton. I loved her first, but that doesn’t matter. Theo’s the only family I’ve ever known, and compared to him, I’m ugly and scarred. Peyton’s King disappears because Theo is everything I’m not. He will make her happy. I tell myself that will be enough for me to let go, but it isn’t.

Theodore Johnson:
The day I meet Peyton, my life is complete.

I loved her first, and forever will.
A m/f romantic standalone with a ghostly twist! A book of what happens when we hold onto guilt too long. When we bottle all our emotions in. When we deny ourselves. An angsty story of letting go, accepting every right and wrong, and moving on.
