More Than Lovers

Lexie Benette fell in love with Rayne Ashford before he ever said a single word to her.

It started with stolen glances across the classroom.
Accidental touches in the library.
The way his ears turned red whenever she got too close - though his face stayed unreadable as ever.

While Lexie spent nights journaling every tiny moment about him, Rayne slowly became the center of her world.

Then, one night changed everything.

The boy she loved disappeared without a goodbye.

No calls.
No explanation.
Nothing.

Heartbroken and abandoned, Lexie let the one person who stayed - her best friend, Milo Cooper - piece her back together. He loved her in silence for years, and eventually, she convinced herself maybe love didn't need sparks. Maybe stability was enough.

Until years later, she sees him again.

Rayne Ashford.

Standing across from her office building like a ghost from her past.

Only this time, he isn't just the quiet boy from high school.

He's the secret heir to one of the most powerful companies in the world. Dangerous. Untouchable. And hiding far more than he admits.

Lexie wants revenge for the way he ruined her.

But the deeper she digs into his secrets, the more she realizes Rayne never stopped loving her either.

And when she becomes the target of the enemies hunting him, Lexie is forced back into the arms of the boy who once shattered her heart.

Because some love stories don't end when people leave.

They wait.
