Is the past always how it appears?

Trey Dalton is charismatic, thoughtful, and accomplished, but every year, he's sorely reminded of how he left the love of his life, Tristyn Miller, without so much as a goodbye. Now, due to a healthy dose of fate and his mama's prayers, he's run into Tristyn and is determined to prove to her that she's the one. Will he be able to convince her that he's changed or will his past keep him from his future?

Tristyn's life is practically perfect. She has a good job, great friends, and an incredible boyfriend that she's kind of in love with. But now that coincidence has plopped her ex boyfriend, Trey, right in front of her, she's second guessing everything. Life with Trey was always fun, steamy, and felt right, but fears of him leaving again plague her thoughts. Will she stick with her safe life, or will she give into her feelings so things can be just like old times?

Excerpt
Trey scratched his temple and shrugged. "So, you're breaking up with him today? Now?"

Tristyn protectively crossed her arms over her chest. "Well, aren't we cocky? Why do you think I'm breaking up with him instead of calling off whatever this is between us?"

"A feeling."

"A feeling?"

"Don't act like you're not still in love with me."

Tristyn's mouth dropped open. "Wow. We spend a couple days together and suddenly you think I'm in love with you. If your head gets any bigger you won't be able to fit through my door when I kick you out."

"I can tell you right now, you will be mine again." He moved closer.

"Trey." She placed her hand on his chest to stop him, but she'd never been able to resist him in any capacity.

He rested his forehead on hers. "I wanna be with you. What do I need to do, Princess? Tell me what I gotta do to get you to break up with your boyfriend." His breath caressed her cheek. "I'm still in love with you. I never stopped loving you."

Tristyn's mind willed her to resist when he came down for a kiss but knew she'd lost the battle when she felt her mouth respond to his. Traitorous body. Once again.

His voice deep with need, he breathed out. "You're mine, Tristyn." His hands covered her skin more urgently, pushing her against the counter. He boldly licked his lip and pulled it into his mouth.

Tristyn knew, at that moment, she was a goner.
