Colin Hartrick is back. Even after five years away from his hometown, nothing could ever make him forget his family or the girl he left behind. The ghost of his eighteen-year-old, grief-stricken self never fails to remind him of how much he lost. Despite every memory and all the lingering feelings that sparked from their intimacy experiment, the girl of his dreams now wants nothing to do with him.

Scarlett Wallace made a mistake. At the time, agreeing to a sexperiment with her charmingly direct lab partner and tutor seemed like the best way to find out what she liked in bed.

Just as she feels she has moved on, the return of the only boy she ever loved makes her question whether she will ever be able to separate her heart from his.
