Saving Saint by Joel Abernathy

SAINT:

I screwed up–big time.
I broke the heart of my best friend. The one person I promised myself I’d never hurt.
Now he’s back after two years, and I hardly recognize him. Danny–sorry, Daniel–is nothing like the scarred, broken kid who left in the middle of the night without saying goodbye. Because of me.
Those brown eyes that were once so full of warmth and adoration have turned cold as ice, but the fire he stirs in me is hotter than the place I deserve to be after what I did. When I lock eyes with him just before he goes onstage with my ex’s band, I realize why he came back.
He wants to ruin me.
And you know what? I just might let him.

DANIEL:

Fate took almost everything from me, but at least I still had my brother, and Saint, my best friend and hopeless crush.
When I found Saint with my brother, the one man who was off-limits, I lost both of them, too.
But fate wasn’t finished with me. A fire started by my brother’s enemies claimed half my face, and then I had to go through literally losing my brother.
Then, I gained a spine. And fifty pounds of muscle.
The fragile, pathetic kid I used to be is dead and gone. I love the way Saint’s jaw drops when he sees me, like I’m a ghost from his past.
A ghost who’s going to make him pay for all his sins.
First, I’ll take the man who broke his heart before he sold the shattered pieces to the devil.
Then I’ll take those, too, because I’m not the lovesick fool I was back then. As far as he’s concerned, I am the devil, and I won’t stop until I possess all of him–his filthy soul included.
The only problem is, mine still belongs to him.

Author’s note: This is a friends to enemies to lovers romance between a brooding guitarist and a cinnamon roll keyboardist turned badass hellbent on revenge. This book features a rocky road to the HEA, high angst, high heat, and plenty of sweetness. The same general content notes from prior books in this series apply here.
