A rising star hits rock bottom… It was supposed to be her next big break—the kind of dream role that would make actress Gia Lien a household name, but a predatory producer turned it into a nightmare. With her career and sobriety hanging in the balance, Gia leaves Los Angeles for the hometown she fled a decade before. An old flame brings new fire… Jake West screwed up his life a long time ago, and he’s been making the best of it ever since. He’s a lawyer now and the adoptive dad to a daughter with a mischievous streak. But when it comes to love—his heart belongs to a woman he only sees on big screens and supermarket tabloids. Until she walks back into Willowbrook like she never left. A second chance at first love… Jake is the very last person Gia wants to see, but somehow he’s everywhere she looks—hanging out in her family’s restaurant, being called uncle by her nieces, taking care of the daughter he adopted. He’s no longer the boy she remembers, but she’s also not the girl who naively handed over her heart. No matter how tempting…some cravings are too dangerous to indulge. Dive into the delicious slow burn of the second installment in the Willowbrook series—CRAVE is a standalone, angsty romance about childhood friends turned first love followed by the worst heartbreak.
