When her boyfriend breaks her heart, Alanna goes after his older brother in a quest for revenge.

It would have been simple — if he wasn’t also her new boss.

As they work together it soon becomes clear Silas knows more about her than he should.

He knows about the past she's forgotten and the memories that evade her... but some secrets are better left buried.

“I’m not a toy for you two to fight over.” 

“No,” he agrees. “You’re not a toy, Alanna, but you damn sure are worth fighting for.”

"Don't," I cut him off. "Don't dismiss my feelings by bringing up my age. You asked me for my thoughts, and I gave them to you. Take them for what they are, without trying to distort them into something you find easier to handle. If you can't do that, then don't ask me what I'm thinking." 

"Because you're the only woman who's ever made me smile when it feels like breathing is near impossible. You breathe live into my broken heart, mending my soul when I thought it was forsaker. You do something to me that no one else can, and I don't know how or why, but I know I can't get enough of it."

The girl looks up, and the expression in her honey brown eyes hits me right in the chest. She is sorrow personified, and in her, I see myself.

"Each day, it’ll get a little easier to breathe, until one day, you find yourself smiling at the same memories that once made you cry.”

“You are my first love, Alanna… but more importantly, you’ll be my last.”

She smiles tightly, not a single hint of recognition in her gaze as she walks past me.

I’m just another customer to her. I’ve been looking for her for years, not a day going by without me thinking of her, and here she is… staring at me as though I’m no one to her.

I smile at her even though my heart is aching. What would she say if I told her I designed this place with her in mind? This penthouse is everything we’ve ever wanted, our every dream and fantasy come true. This is exactly where she’s supposed to be.
