Perfect for you if...

You love second-chance romances where the emotional weight comes from time and unresolved history rather than simple misunderstanding.
You're drawn to stories about class differences and forbidden love that feel genuinely tense, not just surface-level drama.
You enjoy Penelope Ward's signature blend of steam and vulnerability, where chemistry feels earned across a long emotional arc.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer romances that resolve quickly or avoid prolonged angst about past hurt.
You're looking for a light, frothy read without heavy emotional baggage from the protagonist's history.
You want a large ensemble cast or intricate supporting plots rather than a tight focus on two people working through their past.

About this book

A woman recalls a transformative summer when she fell in love with Gavin, the son of her employer. Despite the class difference and his mother's disapproval, Gavin treated her with devotion rather than the disdain she received from his family. Their relationship ended badly, and they parted ways. For ten years, she thought of him daily, knowing only that he had become an entrepreneur living overseas. When circumstances bring her back to work at the place where their romance began, she realizes an encounter is inevitable. She grapples with uncertainty about whether he still harbors resentment, whether he has moved on to someone else, and what his return might mean. The day she has long anticipated finally arrives.
