Lucy
We were high school prom king and queen.
He moved on. I moved East.
Seven years ago, I left Breckenridge, Colorado, hoping to never return.
All it took was one horrific night not too long ago to change all that.
Now, Iβm back, and there is one person I hope I donβt run into.
His name is Jake Galloway.
My prom date. My old boyfriend. My first true love.
Now, Iβm back home to recover from a recent attack that nearly took my life as well as my best friendβs.
Iβm more afraid of what will happen to me should my path cross with Jakeβs again.
I know that will hurt me more than anything Iβve recently gone through.
Heβll own my heart and my body all over again.
Will Lucy be able to choose where her heart truly belongs after coming back to the town she grew up in?
Jake
She took off running when I confessed I love her, but couldnβt give her the committed relationship she wanted.
I needed to live my college years and party it up with lots of girls and booze.
Sex with Lucy Wyatt was an experience in of itself.
I thought I was doing right by moving on from her.
I thought there was more out there than just Lucy.
Even if we burned for each other like a raging wildfire.
Now, Lucyβs back, and I want her more than ever.
The minute my eyes trailed on her walking down the street my desire for her burned more than ever. Itβs as though seven years apart never happened. Itβs just this time Iβm not sure I can have her anymore.
Can flames from years past be rekindled, or have they been extinguished for good?
