Never Promised I Wouldn't: A Second Chance Romance (Watercolor Ridge)
Sixteen years ago he broke my heart, but young love never lasts anyway...right?
EMMA
He never promised he'd love me forever.
Sixteen years. That's how long it took to complete my education, build my career, and forget about Evan Torres. Now, I'm living my dream as a high school principal in Watercolor Ridge, Texas. Small town, right? So the day Evan walked into my office to enroll his teenage son at my school, I was stunned speechless. Fatherhood, and time, had transformed him from the gorgeous boy I dated, to a man who took my breath away. He used to be mine. And the way he's looking at me- like he wants a second chance, like he missed me, like he just might devour me if given the chance...It's overwhelming and confusing. He broke my heart in high school. His son is a direct result of that. Can I forgive and forget? Or was the damage that was done so long ago, irreversible?
EVAN
Never promised I wouldn't.
I loved her back then. One night changed everything. I lost her, I lost my chance to play college ball, I lost life as I knew it. And I gained a son who's my whole world. Moving to Watercolor Ridge was a Hail Mary for a new life. My son was drowning at the big city schools, so I took a new job and moved us to a small town where he could thrive. I didn't know Emma was here until I walked into her office and time stopped. She was beautiful back then, but the years have transformed her. She's stunning. She's also powerful, accomplished, and respected... and she's looking at me like she just saw a ghost. All I see though, is the girl I once knew. Mine. There are things she doesn't know, and this feels like a second chance. Can we move past the hurt that tore us apart, or is our history destined to stop a future written in the stars before it even has a chance to start?
