He promised he’d come back. She waited eight years. Apparently, forever had a scheduling conflict. At fifteen, Jude Mitchell had three things: ridiculously wealthy parents, an attitude problem, and a girlfriend he was absolutely convinced he’d marry. {Y/N} was his first kiss. His first love. His first everything. And when his parents decided she wasn’t good enough for their precious little heir? They ripped him away from her. “I’ll come back for you, baby. I swear I will.” Spoiler alert: He did not come back. So she waited. And waited. And eventually stopped waiting. Eight years later, {Y/N} has a college degree within reach, a steady paycheck, wonderful friends, and absolutely no interest in revisiting her teenage heartbreak. Until a charity gala introduces her to a six-foot-seven, tattooed, disgustingly handsome billionaire heir. Jude. Freaking. Mitchell. Her childhood sweetheart. Her first heartbreak. And apparently, puberty had treated that man like a personal investment. Unfortunately for Jude, looking like a walking sin doesn’t erase eight years of abandonment. But there’s something she doesn’t know. He never forgot her. Never stopped loving her. And the powerful family that tore them apart has been hiding a secret capable of destroying everything. Now Jude is back, armed with money, influence, an unhealthy amount of devotion, and the emotional stability of a man who’s just discovered his future wife no longer wants him. There will be tears. There will be begging. There will be a terrifyingly powerful man brought to his knees by the girl who used to steal his hoodies. Because she spent eight years learning how to live without him, while he spent eight years trying to find his way back. And no matter how many years pass, how much blood is spilled, or how many promises are broken, some hearts remain hopelessly, devastatingly.. 𝑺𝒕𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝑭𝒊𝒇𝒕𝒆𝒆𝒏..~
