Moving to the huge city of Chicago, and attaining the job of her dreams, Kameron Springfield really has it all laid out for her. At the young age of twenty-four, she can't wait to start a new, exciting life. It all should go smoothly. She's in a healthy, long-term relationship. Got a cushy job. Generous income. A high-rise apartment. She's stable. Happy. Everything is finally right for her.
That is, until she discovers that her ex-boyfriend is living in the same apartment building as her. Her first love. After seven long years of never seeing him, hearing from him, or knowing him... it's like they're strangers. Strangers with a past. A past that Kameron never thought she'd have to revisit.
Yet, here he is, back in her life.
Axel Conynghim. Deep brown hair, azure eyes, and a face that's dangerously handsome. A charming smile, and effortless confidence.
Kameron tries to ignore the sizzling curiosity that's burning within her at Axel's newfound persona. He's transformed into a man she hardly recognizes, and her mind and body are uncontrollably compelled to divulge into who he is now.
Then, when her long-term relationship bursts into flames, and she finds herself single, alone, and unfamiliar with this city that's foreign to her... Things start to get rocky. Suddenly she's thrown into constant messy encounters with Axel. Having mutual friends and close-knit families... They can't avoid each other.
So, they try to be friends.
But friends don't look at one another like that. And friends don't think about each other like that. "Friends" has never been a word that's defined Kameron and Axel. It seems like a love that once lived might still be withering behind their hearts to this day. They shouldn't act on their impulses. They shouldn't make the same mistakes.
But that spark that used to flame passionately between them is definitely going to be ignited once more. This time, can they keep it alive?
