Never Look Back

Years ago, Logan Lawson won Aster Costa in a bet at an illegal card table, and that single night pushed her toward a future she never wanted. This small-town romance follows two former rivals who must face each other again, in a second-chance story where hatred and longing are tangled together.

Logan has never let go of his anger, and he hungers for payback. When Aster returns, he cannot stop himself from scheming to win her back, even as he tells himself he wants nothing to do with her. Aster, for her part, is desperate to break free of the chains that have bound her, and she believes Logan is the only person who can help her do it. Asking him for help means swallowing her pride and facing the man she once wronged, or who wronged her, depending on how the past is remembered.

As they work side by side, the bargain they made grows into something neither of them planned for. Their old attraction flares back to life the moment they touch, and Logan is determined to keep Aster this time, whatever it costs him.
