The boy who broke my heart is now the man who wants to mend it.

Jared was my everything until an ocean separated us and he abandoned me when I needed him most.

He forgot the promises he made.

Forgot the love he swore was eternal.

It was over before it began.

Now, he’s a hot commodity, universally adored, and I’m the woman no one wants.

Pining for a boy who no longer exists is pathetic. Years pass, men come and go, but I cannot move on.

I didn’t believe my fractured heart and broken soul could endure any more pain. Until Jared rocks up to the art gallery where I work, with his fiancée in tow, and I’m drowning again.

Seeing him brings everything to the surface, so I flee. Placing distance between us again, I’m determined to put him behind me once and for all.

Then he reappears at my door, begging me for another chance.

I know I should turn him away.

Try telling that to my heart.

This was a beautiful heartbreaking book of second chances. Jared and Sydney have known one another since they were young and knew they were going to be together forever except their family intervened and pulled them apart. Years later Jared was determined to not let Sydney go again since it had been so long. Jared and Sydney are the best of friends and first loves nothing was going to keep them apart. You take a roller coaster of emotions in this book and come to a beautiful stop at the end. This is only the second book that I have read by this author, I need to invest in more.
