Lost beauty
She wants to start over. He never stopped loving her.
Melanie Warren hopes for a new beginning in New York, a chance to prove that she doesn't need her parents' fortune, her high-society status, or her ex-fiancé, Grayson. She is determined to stand on her own two feet and never look back. But then her new job brings her face to face with the one man she swore she would never forgive.
Scott Blackwood is no longer the poor kid from the wrong side of the tracks. He has worked his way up from nothing and is now rich, powerful, and has everything he ever dreamed of. To Melanie, however, he is still the high school classmate who broke her heart at seventeen, disappeared without a goodbye, and never came back. The chemistry between them is undeniable, and their shared past, full of unspoken truths, cannot simply be erased. Old wounds reopen, their professional relationship gradually deepens into something more, and the sharp edges begin to soften. Melanie faces a fateful decision: should she cling to her pride and nurse her grievances, or risk everything for a second chance? Because the biggest secret of all is: she never stopped loving him.
