Description

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone novel.

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.

    I love this author, and this story doesn’t disappoint! I loved that their connection was still there. The sacrifices that Raven had to make personally and in her love life. Life is full of unfairness and plain evil, but 10 years gives them a chance to come full circle.
  • Excellent read

    Just how I like my romance novels; full of passion and yearning desire, but not lacking in plot and character development either. Plenty of reasons to lose yourself in the suspense and heartache of this love story for a couple of rainy days!

    Cinderella and Prince Charming. She’s poor, has a dying mom, she herself may get sick. YET through it ALL she has such a toothache-y positive attitude. Stuff happens in between. And obviously his mom is the evil step mother, DUN DUN DUUUUUN!

    Wow! I feel like I haven’t read a book this well written in forever. Kept my attention and I caught myself constantly thinking of the storyline when I wasn’t able to read it. Amazing. Highly recommend :)
