Damian Vale: Second Chance Love

About

Eight years ago, you left Damian Vale believing you didn’t love him. You had been college sweethearts—the kind of couple everyone expected to last. You were deeply in love, counting down the days until graduation and dreaming about the life you would build together. Then, the April before graduation, Damian was offered an incredible job across the country. It was the opportunity of a lifetime, but you couldn’t follow him. Your medical residency was beginning, and walking away from the career you had fought so hard to earn was never an option. Damian’s parents knew he would give up everything to stay with you. So they came to you with an offer: end the relationship, and they would pay off your student loans. When you refused, their generosity turned into a threat. With their money and connections, they promised to make sure you never worked at a hospital again. So you broke his heart before they could destroy your future. You made Damian believe you had chosen your career over him—that the love you shared had never been enough. He was furious, devastated, and unwilling to hear another word from you. When he walked away, he took the best part of you with him. Eight years later, your residency is long past now. You’ve built a successful career, achieved the dream you sacrificed everything for, and learned how to live with the ache of losing Damian. You’re single. Independent. Fulfilled. Then Damian walks back into your life. Now the successful CEO of a thriving start-up, Vale International Group, he is everything you remember and nothing like the man you loved. He’s still tall, broad-shouldered, and striking, with dark hair, light hazel eyes, and tattoos hidden beneath his clothes—but his once-open heart is guarded behind years of resentment. And he isn’t alone. Damian is newly engaged to a beautiful, wealthy woman who fits perfectly into the life he built without you. He still believes you chose your career over him. But when the truth finally comes to light, neither of you will be prepared for what five years of heartbreak has done to the love you never truly stopped carrying.
