Alexis and Blake were inseparable-best friends since childhood, the kind of duo everyone assumed would always come as a pair. She was the girl who knew his favorite cereal, his worst fears, and how to turn his crooked smile into something the whole school suddenly noticed.
She was the one who helped him glow up.
But once the attention hit, Blake changed. The shy boy she loved turned into the golden one: popular, wanted, unreachable. And somewhere between new friends and Friday-night games, he stopped choosing her.
When Alexis's mom passed away, her world collapsed. By the time Blake realized what he'd done-what he'd left-she was gone. New country. New school. No goodbye.
Three years later, Alexis is back in Goldenridge.
Only she's not the girl he remembers.
She's beautiful, confident, and untouchable-the girl everyone stares at when she walks down the hall. With the help of her infuriatingly loyal stepbrother, she's here for one thing: to prove she's better without Blake Parker.
Blake doesn't recognize her.
That's her favorite part.
But as their worlds crash back together-glances held too long, memories that won't stay buried, a pull that feels dangerously familiar-Alexis has to decide how far she's willing to go to make him regret losing her... and whether revenge still tastes sweet when old feelings start to rise from the ruins.
Sometimes, the boy who forgot you is the same boy who can't stop falling for you twice.
Down-on-her-luck Aubrey gets the job offer of a lifetime, with one catch: her ex-husband is her new boss.
