The Day He Came Back

The Day He Came Back

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone novel.<br /> <br /> It was the summer of my life.<br /> I’d met the guy of my dreams.<br /> Unfortunately, he was the son of my uppity employer—and very much off-limits.<br /> But Gavin was a rebel. He knew his mother would disown him if she found out about us; in his eyes, we just had to be careful.<br /> He never treated me as his mother did—like hired help.<br /> Instead, Gavin put me on a pedestal and loved me harder than I’d ever been loved in my life.<br /> <br /> What a summer it was. <br /> Until it all ended—badly. <br /> <br /> I was never supposed to see Gavin again.<br /> That didn’t stop me from thinking about him every day for ten years.<br /> I knew little about his life now, just that he was an entrepreneur living an ocean away.<br /> <br /> When a twist of fate had me working again in the very place our love affair started a decade earlier, I knew it was only a matter of time before I might see him again. <br /> But I wasn’t prepared.<br /> What if he hated me?<br /> What if he loved someone else now?<br /> I wasn’t prepared for all the unknowns.<br /> <br /> And most of all, I wasn’t prepared for today to be the day he came back.
