Wall Street Journal bestselling author Dylan Allen continues the Rivers Wilde series with a neighbors-to-lovers second-chance romance.

A billionaire with family secrets looking for a fresh start.

A reformed jewel thief.

And a choice that changes everything.

Leo has two priorities: putting down new roots and making up for his mistakes.

He doesn’t have time for a blind date with his new neighbor.

Until he finds out she’s the woman he let slip away…but never forgot.

Cassie has finally paid her debts and is living the life she’s always wanted.

Her new neighbor sounds like he could be Mr. Right.

Only, he turns out to be the man who promised her the world then disappeared without a trace.

In another time and another place, he was a playboy who made her believe in miracles.

Now, he’s a danger to everything she’s worked hard for.

He wants to pick up where they left off.

She wants to keep her distance.

But when they’re together, their chemistry is undeniable.

The heat between them burns hot and fast.

Until a secret whips up a fire that threatens to engulf them all.
