Drawn together by their pain, Theo and Kacey slowly build a friendship, re-forge old ties, help each other to heal, and give one another the courage to reach for their dreams. Together, from the depths of grief and guilt, they learn to laugh again, to trust again, and quite possibly find something beautiful and lasting amid the shattered pieces of their broken hearts.Part two of the Full Tilt Duet is a beautiful and angsty contemporary romance story about what it takes to mend a broken heart – the grief, the acceptance, and ultimately the joy at the newfound love that takes the place of earth-shattering loss.TropesFriends to LoversRockstar RomanceEx’s BrotherHealing LoveAngsty RomanceBooks That Will Make You CryThe Full Tilt Duet:Full TiltAll In
