“"Bro, it's not a big deal. I'm just fucking her." My heart stopped. Kendall's voice replied, "But man, what would people think if you made her your girl? That'd be crazy work." "I'm not stupid," Jalen said flatly. "I'd never make her mine. It's only sex, nothing more. And honestly? It's not that good anymore. I was gonna let her down easy before break." ...... Aria, a plus-size beauty, thought her scholarship and condo arrangements were a dream until she met her roommate, Talia. Rich, spoiled, and instantly cruel, Talia made Aria's life miserable. Talia's new boyfriend, Jalen, was the campus golden boy. When Aria and Jalen were paired for a project, they clicked in ways neither expected from late night talks to shared secrets and undeniable sexual chemistry. On Halloween night, during an all campus party, Aria sees Talia cheating on Jalen. One emotional night led to an affair that changed everything... until Jalen says some really damaging words to his roommate that were unforgivable and also heard by a once happy but now upset Aria. Disappointed, fed up, and heartbroken, Aria leaves campus and never looks back. TEN YEARS LATER Aria returns for the ten year reunion, confident, stunning, and a self-made CEO. Jalen is still gorgeous... but stuck in a miserable marriage with Talia. She ignores him. Talia tries to humiliate her. Aria wins the room. As she leaves, Jalen kisses her. She lets herself feel it, then slaps him and walks away. THE BUSINESS MERGER Jalen's cruise line needs Aria's brand to revamp their image. She agrees, reluctantly. Now they're forced to work side by side, trapped between old wounds and new sparks. Some love stories never die. But some can burn you twice.”
