The One That Got Away

The One That Got Away second chance contemporary romance story

Lexie Miers2024
He was my first love. My only love. The one that got away. People say everything happens for a reason. But I call bullshit—sometimes life just sucks. After mom’s death, I’m all my brother Nathan has left. So, we move to the city for a better life. When he’s almost killed in a motorbike accident, I wonder if I’ve made a mistake. I’m supposed to protect him! As medical bills pour in, I’m drowning in debt. But a new Executive Assistant job could provide the stable future I crave. Or maybe just dredge up a painful past. Because my prospective boss is my first love. My only love. My biggest regret. After high school, Liam snuck out of town with nothing more than his truck, his clothes and my broken heart. I should walk away, but I can’t—I need this job. I can keep this strictly business. Pretend my heart doesn’t race with every panty-melting smile. Yeah, right! Is this just more bad luck? Or maybe a twist of fate—and a second chance at love?
