HAYES HEAVEN ✓

Lauren Hayes has loved Connor Reed since she was fourteen - her older brother Ryan's tattooed, trouble-making best friend, the boy who fixed her bike, chased off her bullies, and disappeared without a word.

Years later, Connor is back, and so is everything Lauren tried to bury. He's still infuriating, still impossible, and somehow still the only one who can make her forget how to breathe. But this time, he's not just the boy from her past - he's the man standing in the middle of a dangerous mess no one can untangle.

As old secrets come rushing back, Lauren is forced to face the one thing she never fully got over: Connor was her first love. And the worst part is, he might still be hers.

Because some loves don't end.
They just wait.
