Grief has left Bonnie standing at the edge of darkness, and only one person can pull her back. But as impossible confessions are finally spoken and fate tightens its grip, love may come at a devastating cost. Just when everything begins to change, a shocking arrival threatens to unravel it all. Will Bonnie and Damon finally get their chance… or is this only the beginning of something far worse?

“I never said that you didn’t have feelings for me, Damon. I only said that it's not possible for you not to hate me for what I’ve done.” “And yet, despite your great protest, my heart still beats for you, my body still yearns, my lungs still starve to take in your scent.” Bonnie blinked. Now it was her turn to blush. Damon tried to hold eye contact, but she looked away, feeling the moment's overwhelm tickle her tear ducts. Damon extended his hand to hers, and she tentatively accepted, feeling the spark of their fingertips send electric pulses jumping up her arms and down her spine. Raising the hairs of skin like an orchestra of passion. “Why do you really believe I can't love you? Why can't we be together? And don't you dare use  Elena as an excuse. Or your heartbreak, cause it clearly hasn't stopped your hands from wandering. Ever.”

Damon is finally finding his way back to himself just as Bonnie convinces herself she's chosen the future she wants. But when buried feelings begin to surface and dangerous secrets refuse to stay hidden, every choice threatens to change their lives forever. With love, loyalty, and fate pulling them in opposite directions, will Bonnie and Damon finally face the truth—or lose each other before they ever get the chance?

Damon had flipped his switch. Lost sight of his humanity, and there was nothing and no one who could turn it back on again. At least he believed that until Sybil ordered him to fight to the death for Bonnie's love. Seeing her again, the world, which had once been bathed in unholy shades of red, was bleeding color. She was a vision of fear and longing, though the latter was definitely not aimed at him but at Enzo. Damon knew better than to think ripping Enzo's heart out would give him what he longed for most. The bit of himself that made him real and human again. The person who made him human. Bonnie.

Haunted by chilling visions, Bonnie Bennett is forced to confront the truth: does she save the men she loves, or does she continue to reinforce her lie? Caught between an agonizing psychic bond and Stefan Salvatore's devotion to his brother, will she be able to resist plunging into darkness?

 "....trust me, I get it. You want nothing more than to bury the pain and anger you feel about a person. I understand I have felt it before with Katherine. And if it weren’t for the fact that she came back into my life, and the fact that I got to confront the fact that I still loved her. Despite all the bullshit she put me through. When she died, I got to lay it to rest. I got to say I loved her with all my heart and that now I have no regrets.”
