An alternate cover for this ASIN can be found here. Our history had been defined by kisses. The one he stole from me at 17. The one I gave to him at 20. The one we shared when I was 27 changed the course of everything. I’d had a crush on Levi Walker my entire life, but he always saw me as a child. A little girl running around the yard, dancing under sprinklers, and dreaming of princes. I was no longer that innocent girl, though. I was a successful woman of my own means about to embark on a life I’d always wanted. I’ve returned home for a family celebration, only the surprise is on me. Levi Walker has come home as well, and he looks even better than the teenager I remember. He’s broken, lost, and a little uncertain of his future, but there’s one thing that hasn’t changed. He’s still a piece of my heart/history. When someone steals kisses from you, the heart remembers, and that pesky emotional organ wants a repeat.
