Once a lover boy, he’s turned his back on love and settled for temporary pleasures. These days, his sole focus is being a father to his six month old son and running his defense academy. Falling in love isn’t even on his radar until she shows back up.

Neha Malone thought she could run from her past. When a job opportunity lands her in the same city as the man she once considered the love of her life, Neha realizes that the past will always catch up to you and old feelings die hard.

When the two cross paths again, a world of hurt, anger, and betrayal swirls around them. What happens when the love of your life has done the unthinkable? Is forgiveness an option, or can some things not be swept under the rug?","format",{"_19":24,"_89":117,"_118":119,"_120":49},"publisher","page_count",407,"duration","published_date","pub_date","November 19","isbn","asin","B0G31C57F6","hex_code","#f8f8f8","language","English","purchase_links",[],"playlist_links",[],"cover","https://cdn.blackauthored.com/books/4364i/9dffe04b-01e3-4f4a-a456-9d43d09a8f32.jpg","thumb","https://img.blackauthored.com/?preset=poster_thumb&image=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.blackauthored.com%2Fbooks%2F4364i%2F9dffe04b-01e3-4f4a-a456-9d43d09a8f32.jpg","rating_distribution",{"_109":110,"_111":112},"tags",[85,86,87],{"_19":32,"_89":106,"_91":92,"_55":-5,"_53":107,"_94":108,"_96":49,"_98":49,"_99":100},{"_19":101,"_89":102,"_91":103,"_55":-5,"_53":104,"_94":105,"_96":97,"_98":49,"_99":100},{"_19":88,"_89":90,"_91":92,"_55":-5,"_53":93,"_94":95,"_96":97,"_98":49,"_99":100},29,"name","Urban Fiction","category","genre","urban-fiction","url","/genres/urban-fiction","selectable",true,"sensitive","position",0,35,"Second Chance","trope","second-chance","/tropes/second-chance","Romance","romance","/genres/romance","ratings",{},"recommend",{"_113":114,"_115":100,"_116":32},"yes",11,"no","maybe","Kindle","type","digital","audio","The Dillinger Chronicles","cb9eb57f-1bcd-4e94-9230-647b97589d1c","order",{"_19":125,"_89":126,"_53":127,"_128":129,"_130":131,"_132":133,"_134":135,"_136":97},"d6f6c3a4-50c6-48ac-a95f-b5a2f43ef860","Kimberly Brown","22-kimberly-brown","biography","
