There was only one reason he would’ve demanded I leave South Haven before the end of classes next week. Immediately…immediately… With every echo of that word through my mind, my heart battered my chest, the ache to rip itself free of my body a plea I was helpless to honor. Your father is quite…insistent you return to Connecticut immediately.” WITH THE NOTE from Principal Stewart crumpled in my fist, I stalked away from his office, away from the words I knew would haunt me forever. Many have tried and failed to get past the barrier he’s carefully constructed, but it’s the shy, studious boy he once coaxed out of his shell who still haunts him. To the world, he’s brash and confident, an in-demand artist who spends his days designing one-of-a-kind pieces and his nights as king of the downtown scene. Lucas Sullivan is South Haven’s ultimate playboy, a reputation he’s honed since the only boy he ever loved left without a trace. With growing pressure from his father to settle down and take over the family business, Jackson knows he’s on borrowed time, and sets out to find the free-spirited daredevil he once knew.īut Lucas isn’t the same man he was eight years ago. When a work trip takes Jackson back to his old stomping grounds, memories of the year he shared with Lucas come crashing to the surface. One he’s been hiding since he graduated from South Haven all-boys academy-and that secret’s name is Lucas. Jackson Davenport, the charismatic, strait-laced heir to the Davenport fortune, has a secret. What if you had everything in the world you wanted…except the man you’d left behind? A second chance, going back, never giving up on love. The side characters in this book leave you needing to know more from them. This story is filled with angst, characters that you do want to love and my God can they be frustrating at times.

The chemistry between Lucas and Jackson burns to the point of leaving your kindle a smouldering mess. A first read for me of Brooke Blaine and a little off the usual path off book I read however I really enjoyed Brooke’s writing style and will definitely be reading more.
