High school love isn't meant to last forever... is it?

Drew truly loved Alyssa, the poor girl from the other side of the tracks. But his dream of becoming a surgeon took him away from her and he had to let her go.

Drew never forgot his first love. And when fate brings them back together, he intends to make it for life. But always the trickster, fate has more tragedy and heartbreak in store for the couple.

After many secrets and lies, when the heart heals, will they still have a future together?

Praise from readers:

★★★★★ - "A touching story of love found again. The story is beautifully written, with characters that touch the heart and situations that break the heart. Romance lovers, this one is for you."

★★★★★ - "Simone combines all the elements needed to have a great book , which to me are romance, good plot and happy ending. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a great love story!"

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

In the world of the written word, Simone Beaudelaire strives for technical excellence while advancing a worldview in which the sacred and the sensual blend into stories of people whose relationships are founded in faith, but are no less passionate for it. Unapologetically explicit, yet undeniably classy, Beaudelaire’s 20+ novels aim to make readers think, cry, pray… and get a little hot and bothered.

In real life, the author’s alter-ego teaches composition at a community college in a small western Kansas town, where she lives with her four children, three cats, and husband – fellow author Edwin Stark.

As both romance writer and academic, Beaudelaire devotes herself to promoting the rhetorical value of the romance in hopes of overcoming the stigma associated with literature’s biggest female-centered genre.

5.0 out of 5 stars A romantic story with a touch of eroticism and a deep sensitivity
Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2014

This is a book to be read in one sitting. A skillfully narrated story, with two very seductive characters, Alyssa and Andrew, who keep us hooked on the story where the emotions are skin-deep. In its pages Simone Beaudelaire speaks to us about so big and so pure love, which supports big difficulties.
Two students gather for a school project, they don’t like each other; nonetheless this gives them the opportunity to work together and not only solve their differences but also fall in love and what could be a simple relationship, becomes an adventure full of misunderstandings.
The novel has a fair dose of romance and delicate eroticism, but also a shocking social reality in depth, kids who live in poverty, a sensitive matter that the author describes as the very real thing it means.
A wonderful read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good read
Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2014
This is a decade long love romance book between Alyssa and Andrew. That is all I am going to say about the plot. This book is a wonderful example of how family can affect the way people view love, trust love, and require love. It is about how love shows no boundaries. I was able to connect with the characters however, there were times that scenes were cut short and I was confused about how the author transitioned from one point to the other. A character must have more than one short moment to decide to be in love. Furthermore, it isn’t a choice and I think that is where Beaudelaire fell short. I wanted more on a few scenes to have compassion. I didn’t feel anything in those abrupt moments and that was disappointing. The secondary characters were well written but there were too many. I felt like the author was trying to cram too many other themes into the ending and I lost a bit of interest towards the end. This book is well written grammatically and was a nice quick read for a lazy day. I would recommend this book to mature audiences because of the few steamy sex scenes however there are good lessons to be learned from this book, too so if there was a way to pull those few sex scenes, this would be a great YA book.

If you want beautiful romance and beautiful sex to go with it, read all of the authors books. She never disappoints the reader. All stories are heart tugging and the written words are so beautiful that sometimes you want to frame them. Don't plan on doing anything useful when you start reading, it just never works for me!!

3.0 out of 5 stars First love/second chance romance
Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2019
This is the story of Drew and Alyssa, told in three parts This is a standalone novel that gives you a first love/ second chance romance with a secret baby. I was not really a fan of the authors writing style but was able to finish the book without skipping pages.

5.0 out of 5 stars FOR TRUE ROMANCE LOVERS
Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2014
A True Romance of love lost, then found and lost again.
I won a download of this story, and what a wonderful prize it turned out to be. I loved this story.
Alyssa Miller and Drew Peterson, start dating at High School. Whilst Drew comes for an affluent family, Alyssa is struggling to support her mother and her cancer ridden father. She has to combine study with work, but somehow finds time to date Drew.

They drift apart when Drew goes off to medical school and Alyssa has to work as a check-out chick at the local grocery store.

Fast forward a few years, and the couple meet again, in hospital. Drew is now a doctor, and Alyssa who has been admitted following a serious car accident, is still working at the grocery store and struggling to pay off her father’s medical bills.

Because she cannot work after her accident, Alyssa loses her job and thus has nowhere to live. Drew opens his home to her. They share one night of passion. Frightened by what has happened and worrying about Drew’s feelings towards her, Alyssa leaves him a note asking him to contact her if he loves her, then she leaves.

Drew never receives the note, so of course, Alyssa doesn’t here from him.

I better not tell you anymore or it will spoil the story.

The author has done a wonderful job. This is a well written, touching story. Absolutely sigh-worthy if you are a lover of romance.

Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2015
I do not review the plot of books because lets face it if you are reading reviews then you already know what the book is about. But I will say that it was a GREAT book. She starts the story out in the beginning which I liked because I hate flashbacks. Then she writes a story about a girl that needs help but she has to much pride to want it.
It feels real it feels like this book is based on real life. I really like how she has religion in here but it is only a peak and not thrown in our face. I got it through my Kindle Unlimited but I bought it afterwards because I enjoyed it so much!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars with some intimate moments described in the most careful and beautiful of terms
Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2014
Now and then I read a romantic novel, even write one, but usually with a twist involving dramatic events. This book is a pure romance novel, with some intimate moments described in the most careful and beautiful of terms. I really enjoyed reading this story for a variety of reasons. I loved Alyssa, and particularly her dear friends Sheridan and Erin. Sheridan and Erin come along late in the book but in a way that really cements Alyssa in her love of Andrew (called Drew). All of these women are staunch characters, well described, well created and worthy in this story. Drew I grew angry at in a part of the book where I didn't understand his demons as well as a writer should. But in the end I liked Drew as well, maybe more than I had anticipated even if the book had a wonderful ending. I will leave you to discover the ending. But it must be said that this is a really good, fast reading story. Thanks Simone.
