THE AUTUMN YOU BECAME MINE – floral edition

They’ve imprinted on each other’s souls. But that passionate chemistry has left them broken and bruised before…

Chase Blake doesn’t do anything by halves. Whether it’s running his lucrative investment firm, gambling big time, or kissing beautiful women, the reckless risk-taker avoids deeper feelings by never letting off the gas. But when a serious street-fight injury leaves him reluctantly agreeing to take a break, his biggest fear is living impossibly close to the curvy beauty who makes his blood boil.

Lauren Guerrera is determined to play it cool. So even though her entire body starts tingling when her ex-lover moves back into town, she swears she won’t allow their checkered history to trigger more drama. But when the confident woman’s family dynamics implode, she can’t stop herself from falling into the rugged man’s arms after he races to the rescue.

Struggling to let his guard down and be honest with the girl who holds his heart, Chase quiets his self-destructive impulses with wild love. And just as Lauren dares to hope they’ve put the past in the rearview, she’s brought crashing down to earth by old trauma.

Can they turn their high-stakes desires into a perfect lifelong partnership?
