"Rowan"
"I told you not to call me that."
His voice is low, dangerous. Lea's back hits the wall, but her eyes stay on his.
"Why?" she whispers.
Nico leans in, caging her in with one hand. His lips hover over hers, not touching.
"Because Rowan loved you." His other hand slips to her throat, just barely grazing. "And I don't want to remember what it felt like to be him."
But he kisses her anyway.
And it's not soft.
Lea Broadway has spent her whole life running-from love, from herself, and most of all, from the boy who never chose her. Rowan Reid was once her everything-until he disappeared and came back as someone else: untouchable, dominant, dangerously magnetic Nico Reid.
Years later, fate throws them back together. She's not the girl who waited. He's not the boy she loved. But some names still burn. And some touches never lose their heat.
A story of obsession, old wounds, and the kind of slow burn that doesn't just scorch-it destroys.
He left as Rowan.
He returned as Nico.
And now... she's his to break.
