A Standalone Contemporary Romance
New York Times, USA Today, and #1 Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author
Penelope Ward

SYNOPSIS

It was the summer of my life.
I’d met the guy of my dreams.
Unfortunately, he was the son of my uppity employer—and very much off-limits.But Gavin was a rebel. He knew his mother would disown him if she found out about us; in his eyes, we just had to be careful.
He never treated me as his mother did—like hired help.
Instead, Gavin put me on a pedestal and loved me harder than I’d ever been loved in my life.

What a summer it was.
Until it all ended—badly.

I was never supposed to see Gavin again.
That didn’t stop me from thinking about him every day for ten years.
I knew little about his life now, just that he was an entrepreneur living an ocean away.

When a twist of fate had me working again in the very place our love affair started a decade earlier, I knew it was only a matter of time before I might see him again.
But I wasn’t prepared.
What if he hated me?
What if he loved someone else now?
I wasn’t prepared for all the unknowns.

And most of all, I wasn’t prepared for today to be the day he came back.

Holy angst batman! I seriously devoured this book. I just kept reading until I couldn’t take it anymore. Which was the end. HAHA! This book was very emotional and gritty. The characters were very selfless, which ended up leading to their big downfall. Gavin was the IT guy. The popular guy everyone wanted to be with all the time. Unfortunately, he has a mother FROM HELL!!! I seriously wanted to throat punch a fictional character. This was a good read for sure and Penelope always has such a brilliant way with words so it’s hard not to fall in love with all of her stories.

Oh the angst and twisted heartbreak…I seriously couldn’t wait to find out how these two estranged lovers were going to deal with their reunion. Their young love was so sad and tragic. I didn’t even know what to think about their breakup. Why oh why!!!! To be apart ten years and then surprisingly brought back together. I wish Raven had been a stronger heroine. She definitely was a sweet, honest and caring girl. My favorite qualities in my lead girl but I wanted her way more feisty at times. Gavin…I loved his rugged good looks and willingness to fight for what he wanted. But then sometimes I wanted him to work a little harder. I love second chances though and these two had that deep connection that makes you swoon. The trademark of a Penelope Ward book that I look for every single read. Swoonworthy heroes that sweep the heroine off her feet and spoil her for any other men, Le sigh.
