But now she’s moving back to town and all the emotions of the past come crashing in to drive him back to her.

Ex-boyfriends are real, though.
And hers becomes obsessed.
Tatum and Parker’s rekindled love will be tested to its limits.
And worlds may come crashing down.

EXCERPT:

“Man, did you hear anything I said?” Elliott waved, snapping me out of my memory.

“What?” I must have looked like an idiot. Here I was, sitting across from her brother, remembering the last night I was with his sister. Thank God he couldn’t see below the table; my painful erection was straining against my jeans.

“She arrives tomorrow,” he repeated.

I shifted in my seat, doing my best to readjust myself. I nodded to the bartender for another round as I took a long swig, emptying my beer. It was going to be a long night.

“Aren’t you working for me tomorrow?” I asked.

“Yes.” He hesitated. “Parker, I have a huge favor to ask.”

He was crazy if he thought I would pick her up. There was no way I could do that. I wasn’t ready to see her.

“I hate to ask, but would you be able to pick her up for me and bring her to this address? I’ll be done with work at four but won’t be able to get there for two.”

He scratched out an address on a napkin and passed it over to me.

“I don’t want her to have to take a cab from the airport.”

I frowned as I looked down at the address he had written. It was about a block from my place. What the hell! It had taken me the last eight years to even think about dating seriously again. The past few years had been nothing but one-night stands, and I was growing tired of it now. I wanted more—I needed more—and now the girl I had never gotten over would be living less than a five-minute drive from my place. I took in a deep breath. I must have lost my mind.

“What time?”

“Her flight lands at two. Gate B4,” Elliott informed.

I placed the napkin in my pocket and ordered us some food. “I’ll be back. Gonna hit the bathroom.”

Standing outside the washroom, I pulled my cell phone out of my pocket. Opening my contacts, I pulled Tatum’s information up on my screen. I wanted to text her. Hell, I had wanted to text her every time I got drunk. Every time I was lonely and horny, and pretty much every day for the last eight fucking years. My finger hovered over the text icon for what seemed like hours, but I decided against it. I slid my phone back into my pocket and went back out to drown my sorrows in more beer.
