"I'll see you later, beautiful girl."

With a teasing smile, I say, "You forgot my name, didn't you?"

He levels me with his gaze, his bright eyes burning. "I could never forget any part of you, Alyna."

AUTHOR'S | NOTE

hi, this is technically my first non-fanfic book. (not counting books that started as fanfic but i later changed.) if you're used to my books, this will be a little different! definitely not as dark but it will have mature or triggering themes. (seriously though it's much lighter) HEA guaranteed. i really hope you'll love Alyna & Gabriel's story as much as i do.
