Description
DualPOV ♥︎ After eleven years of no contact, fate thrusts ex-lovers Ren and Gio back together. Their chemistry is immediate, but she thinks she's broken beyond repair, and he thinks he's a train wreck unfit for relationships. Though these high school sweethearts still harbor deep feelings for each other, in order to fully heal their relationship and themselves, they must first reveal their deepest secrets. 🥇 Amby Award Winner - Top Pick in Romance 2023 Ren: I have to admit it... I never got over Giovanni. I thought I had moved on, even married another man. But just when I had my life all neatly put together, it all broke apart. Now I'm nearly thirty, freshly single, and living back home with my mom in California, where the hot and heavy teenage memories of Gio still taunt me. Then, as if by fate, after eleven years of no contact, he walks back into my life, his gaze licking up my body like fire, and Zap! All it takes is one look to feel the intense connection surging between us again... and I know he feels it, too. Damn, Gio was hot at seventeen, but now he's the souped-up, modified version. What will it take to get him back? And if I do, would he accept me and the way in which I'm broken? Gio: Fuck, I'd give anything to get back together with Ren, but every time my heart leaps forward, I immediately take two steps back. She knows me well enough to sense I'm keeping something hidden behind my enigmatic eyes, but she wouldn't want the man I am now. I'm so afraid that the way I am could be our final deal breaker.
