Always Been You by Gia Kise

Never sleep with an old crush, especially not the one who still makes your heart race. Lawliss should have remembered that before spending the night with Edmund Montgomery.

Lawliss
On my wedding anniversary, I planned a surprise for my husband only to walk in on him cheating. I didn’t scream. I didn’t cry. I just left. Because what else was there to do?
A much-needed vacation was supposed to be my escape, a way to breathe again. But then he happened, the one person from my past I never expected to see again, Eddie.
In my defense, I was heartbroken, and he was infuriatingly charming, devastatingly attractive, and willing to give me exactly what I needed. It was supposed to be a one-time, with no strings and no second thoughts. I wouldn’t see him again.
But fate had other plans and Eddie isn’t just anyone. He’s the boy I once loved, the man who never truly let me go.
When the past collides with the present—when secrets unravel, and truths come to light—one question remains:
Can I forgive the ultimate betrayal? Or is a second chance doomed from the start?

Eddie
I took my family’s legacy and turned it into an empire. I became the man who takes what he wants.
And I want her, I’ve always wanted her.
When she crashes back into my life, wounded and guarded, I see my chance. A one-night deal turns into something neither of us can walk away from. But Lawliss doesn’t know the full truth.
She doesn’t know I’ve already claimed her in ways she can’t imagine.
And when she finds out?
She might never forgive me.
But can a man like me give her the love she deserves? Or will my darkness ruin us before we even begin?

Always Been You is a high-stakes, steamy second-chance romance where love, betrayal, and revenge collide.
