Devyn left town ten years ago with nothing but a broken heart and a secret she was never allowed to explain.
Everyone believed the rumors.
No one believed her.
She did what she had to do to survive - raising her twins on her own, working nonstop, and building a life far away from the place that turned its back on her. It wasn't easy, but she made it. A successful career, her own home, and a future she fought hard to earn.
Coming back was never supposed to happen.
But when her father's health takes a turn for the worse, Devyn has no choice except to return to the small town she swore she'd never see again... the same town where every memory still hurts and every whisper still follows her.
He never planned on being back either.
Forced home by his mother and her obsession with keeping up appearances, he's already counting the days until he can leave again. The last thing he expects is to see the one woman he never got over standing right in front of him.
Devyn.
The girl he loved.
The girl he lost.
The girl who vanished without telling him why.
One look at her and the past comes rushing back harder than either of them is ready for. The chemistry is still there, stronger than ever, and in a town where everyone watches everything, there's no hiding it.
But the truth about the night Devyn left was never what anyone thought.
As old secrets begin to surface, the town starts to take sides, and the one person he trusts the most may be the one who lied to him all along.
Now Devyn has to decide if coming home was worth the risk...
or if the only way to protect herself and her children is to run again.
Because this time, the truth could cost her everything -
Even including the man she never stopped loving.

(18+ EXPLICIT CONTENT) "Attract a lot of attention, huh beautiful?" His voice hit me like a wall, absurdly catching me off guard. It was deep, sensual, something any girl (or boy) could melt over. I was sort of speechless, yet trying my best to appear unafflicted. "Only the wrong ones." That was definitely drunken me talking, as I didn't usually have that much confidence. His lips twitched up into a smirk, expressing that he understood my comment. "Does that mean that I'm in that category?" My palms began to grow sweaty and my heart rate picked up, but otherwise my body remained relaxed, appearing completely fine. It similar to when you're on autopilot, completely withdrawn due to intoxication. "I suppose not," I crossed my arms, putting on this seductive persona just for him. This fueled his smirk, about to murmur another comment before I cut him off. "You'll have to show me, though." *** Amelia Hollis was a 23-year-old writer at one of the local publishing companies, assisting a very handsome man and writing articles left and right. Her and her best friend, Aviary, lived together in a cute little apartment off the central part of the city, yearning to create new memories and important moments. Amelia always lived for the moments, taking in every little detail and savoring it like it was her favorite meal. She was an optimist, hoping to change peoples lives with her dreams. James Vallette was a 34-year-old CEO, building his company from dirt with the help of his brother. He was a realist, not really having time to deal with dreams or even love. He knew this the night he laid eyes on Amelia. It was only casual; what harm could a one-night stand do? Oh yeah, he's her dad's boss.Complete

I say and he slowly turns my face towards him, closing my locker and pinning me up against it. "What if I need you?" He asks and I roll my eyes. "Nice one, Hamlet." I say, walking away from him.
