MARLOWE

Three years ago, Finn Sinclair walked out of my life with my heart in his hands. He promised he’d come back.

He didn’t.

I’ve spent the past three years learning how to live without him. How to build a life that belongs to me. How to become the woman I always wanted to be.

I’m finally on the verge of becoming a top model for Valmont, one of the most esteemed luxury fashion brands in the country, and for once, everything in my life is falling into place.

Until Finn comes home.

I’m tough, but even I’m not prepared for him being Valmont's newest photographer.

I should hate him.

I want to hate him.

I moved on ages ago, so why do I forget how to breathe every time he’s in the room?

FINN

I fell in love with Marlowe von Ziegesar the day we met and I haven’t stopped loving her since.

Not even for a day.

I thought leaving was the only way I could protect her. I thought she deserved better than me.

I was wrong about a lot of things.

But I was never wrong about loving her.

I came back because my mum needs me, and somehow the one job that can help me pay for her treatment puts me directly in Marlowe’s path.

She’s right to hate me. I did abandon her, but not because I stopped loving her. That would be as easy as tearing my heart out of my chest.

Three years ago, we weren’t ready for the love we had. But a lot has changed since then. I’d give anything to try again with her, but I’m terrified I’ve lost her forever.

Some loves endure whatever life throws at them. The question is, can ours?
