Aurora Rivers paints like she feels-messy, bold, all heart. She's always been a little too much: too wild, too emotional, too unpredictable. Aspen Ashford? He's never been allowed to be anything but perfect. Son of a powerful family, raised on rules, pressure, and a name that comes with expectations. They were never supposed to meet, let alone fall for each other. Not at Walton Academy, where money talks and reputations matter more than feelings. But somehow, they did. It was intense. It was real. And it ended-badly. Eight years later, they're back, older, maybe wiser, and definitely still bruised. A reunion neither of them wanted brings them face to face again. For Aspen, it feels like fate. For Aurora, it feels like a wound she never really let heal. As sparks fly, so do the truths they never faced. The love they had? It was never simple. And the past they shared might be even more complicated than Aurora remember. Because maybe Aspen wasn't just the boy she once loved-maybe he was the one thing she's never stopped needing. 💭 "I loved her in every timeline, even the one she forgot."
