He broke her heart. Redemption means changing his.
***Book #2 in the Terms series (following Terms of Temptation).***
Six months after vanishing from New York City, Clarke Donovan returns for her cousin's wedding and steps straight back into the shadow of the man she's spent a year trying to forget.
In her absence, Matthew Cavanaugh has expanded his empire, but success hasn't silenced the ghosts Clarke left behind. Her return stirs old obsessions and unresolved wounds, forcing him to confront the one truth he's long avoided: if he wants her back, he must face his demons and unlearn everything he believes about romance and relationships. But, redemption is a dangerous game...especially when his past refuses to stay buried.

See You Again
Everyone has a story. Some of those stories are happy and full of life, with the occasional bump in the road. Those are the ones you normally read about in your basic romantic comedy, where the girl falls for the guy and somehow they end up together and living happily ever after. Some stories are long and hard and heartbreaking, like the ones where the kids have a loved one that died or something, and they have that one person that helps them through the trauma and turns their life into something worth living. Some stories are too short, with a long lasting mark on your heart, and those are the ones that have you bawling your eyes out at three in the morning, trying to keep quiet so that no one hears you. And then there are the stories that are somehow a combination of all three, stories that include laughter, crying, heartbreak, pain, and happiness all at once. My story is one of those. ******************** Because of reactions from certain readers that will not be named, I have changed this fic to mature, and this is a trigger warning. Thank youComplete
