ULTIMATUM

REVISED PROLOGUE

...

Arielle believed she had finally left the past behind-especially the man she once loved and ultimately hurt. She was determined to move forward, convincing herself that some chapters were never meant to be reopened.

But everything changes when her new teacher turns out to be Kael, her ex-boyfriend and once the most admired student on campus.

Gone is the warm, carefree boy she once knew. In his place stands a man who is colder, harder to read, and far more dangerous than she remembers. His return is no coincidence, and it soon becomes clear that he has unfinished business with the girl who broke his heart.

As old feelings begin to resurface, Arielle finds herself trapped between the past she desperately tried to bury and the present she can no longer escape. And when Kael gives her an ultimatum that could change both of their lives forever, she is forced to confront the love she thought she had already forgotten.

Some love stories don't end with goodbye.

Sometimes, they begin again.
