She's brilliant, cautious, and back where she doesn't belong.
He's reckless, sun-kissed, and exactly the kind of trouble she swore she'd avoid.
Now they're stuck together -- and neither of them plays fair.

I swore I'd never come back. Two years ago, I left without a word, trading designer wardrobes and late-night dim sum for libraries and lecture halls.

My plan is simple: slip in unnoticed, finish my research, and get the hell out. No one needs to know I'm back.

Especially not him.
Heath Lawrence.

The guy who still looks devastatingly perfect in low-slung board shorts, who can still unravel me with a single glance. The same guy who shredded my heart the last time I trusted him.

It's been two years.
I've moved on.
Obviously.

So why wouldn't I accept his help getting into the library for my research? There's nothing between us but a bunch of old memories that don't mean anything.

But being trapped in close quarters with him -- watching him fidget beside me, sun-kissed limbs distracting in the worst way possible -- is a dangerous game.

A game I'm not sure I'll survive.

Heath

Walker Halifax shattered my heart two years ago when she disappeared without a word. Everyone witnessed my breakdown, but no one knows why she left or why she hasn't been seen since.

Seeing her again is like being hit by a storm I didn't see coming. I thought I could handle it, but seeing her bite her lip, catching the scent of that familiar shampoo...

I'm not as strong as I thought I was.

There's a reason she left. And I need to remember exactly what it was.

But every heartbeat, every glance, every word whispers that maybe this time, losing her isn't an option I can survive.
