Why has the adorable, geeky, fashion-backwards, gangly teenager Verity fell in love with at school been replaced by this cold, intimidatingly gorgeous, billionaire CEO in a designer suit? And why is he pretending he doesn’t remember her? Finally, Verity’s architecture company has landed the dream project, the one to launch her as a major player, at least she thought it had, until she found out that Harry York was financing it. He seems to be determined to sabotage her dreams at every turn, and she can’t understand why. Wasn’t it Harry that broke her heart all those years ago? Wasn’t she the one who was ghosted? It hurts to feel unwanted by the one person she used to think she could trust, but then that feeling is nothing new to Verity, given her past. Harry left his nerdy teenage side behind long ago. All it ever got him was bullied at school by the posh kids and let down by the prettiest girl he ever saw. He’s determined to show Verity how far he’s come, and punish her for ever rejecting him. But what if he got it wrong all those years ago, leaving Verity when she needed him the most? What if he let love slip through his fingers then, and now he’s repeating the same mistake? Full-length, stand-alone, enemies to lovers, second chance romance. Trigger warnings for childhood abuse and bullying.
