Something to Remember (Second Chance) by Suzanne Pederson

A Second Chance Romance. Childhood sweethearts forced to part in high school meet again as attorneys representing opposing parties. Can they rekindle their lost love despite secrets and ethical standards? Mary didn't expect her world to change when she entered the courtroom to represent her new client. But that was before Ian Powers, her childhood sweetheart, walked into the courtroom like a powerful man who thought he owned the place. His gentle smile was the same, and the twinkle in his eyes made Mary want to hug him, but she sensed that he was now a player with a heart of stone. Gone was his shaggy hair, his torn jeans and untucked tee shirt. In their place was a slick urban haircut, an expensive suit, and a sophisticated manner that warned of an underlying arrogance that could push a girl away. Far. Away. And yet Mary was drawn to step into his inner circle to rekindle their love. Soulmates from the first time he pulled her pigtails in grade school until the last time he kissed her before their forced breakup, she felt compelled to learn about his life since their sad parting. Was he still the same boy that Mary once loved with all her heart? What secrets was he now hiding, and why couldn't he trust her with them? Ian had learned from an early age that life could hurt, and the strong only survived by not getting sucked into emotional strife. Get in, get out, and don't stick around. That was his motto. But now he had Mary back in his life and he desperately wanted to draw her into his innermost circle. He had dreamed about getting her back for years. But how could he bring her into his life when his life had become more complicated than she would ever expect? Read more
