Muscle Memory

Daisy Bennett was your typical quiet, nerdy high schooler who was forgettable, who lived next door to Chase Sterling, the hunky, popular, football player who everyone loved. At school, they pretended that they didn't know each other, but Daisy knew Chase better than anyone. Daisy knew that his parents were drug addicts, with his father physically and emotionally abusive to them. Chase spends a lot of time at her house, often eating dinner with them. Daisy loved Chase, but she would never think of telling him. Little does she know, Chase also loved Daisy, but his life was too chaotic to bring anyone else in. Then, Chase and his family moved away and Daisy never heard from him again.

Fast forward 15 years later, and after a horrible break-up, Daisy moves to a new city, starts a new job in a hospital and moves into a new apartment building. Her only neighbour? She doesn't know, as they are never home. She works nightshift and they seem to work a day-time job, and their paths never cross. Months after leaving a letter introducing herself and not hearing anything back, she is sick at home and decides to go down to the mailroom to check if she got any packages. And there he is. Chase Sterling. He looks exactly as she remembers, just with a lot more muscles and tattoos.

A whirlwind romance novel of two lives reconnected, filled with heartache, loss and a whole lot of sexual tension. Chase has secrets from his childhood that Daisy doesn't know about, so will he be able to make it up to her? Will they be together finally after all these years?
