From USA Today bestselling author Emily McIntire comes an angsty second chance romance and the first interconnected standalone in the Sugarlake series.

Alina

I was eleven when I met Chase Adams. I loved him before I knew what lovin' was. I pulled, he pushed. I gave, he took. I loved... I lost.

Now he's back. All grown up and sexy as sin. But things changed while he was gone. So, he can show those dimples and flex those muscles all he wants. It won't change a thing.

Chase Adams is nothin' but a lost memory. I'll do everything I can to keep him that way.

Chase

Growing up, there were only two women I ever loved. Neither one of them ever really loved me back.

Until her. Alina. My Goldi.

She was everything that's good. I was the bad. She was the brightest goddamn star. I was the black hole shredding her to pieces. I loved her wrong, losing her to my demons.

But now I'm back. A better man.

I'll do everything I can to make her remember us, even if all she wants is to forget.
