#ReminiscentHeartsTour
A second chance love story.
Lily Hill was a good girl. Sweet,
innocent, hardworking, with her whole life in front of her. And
completely in love with Jake Stewart.
Jake was the ultimate bad boy, who
screwed around and never played by the rules. He had his own secrets
and demons, and for him, Lily was the light to his dark. He knew how
Lily felt about him. It was the best un-kept secret between friends.
But the one good thing he did was keep his hands off Lily. She’d
never survive his deepest desires.
Or so he thought.
A lot can happen in five years.
Lives change. People change. But what
about love?
Rachel De Lune writes emotionally
driven contemporary and erotic romance.
She began scribbling her stories of
dominance and submission in the pages of a notebook several years
ago, and still can’t resist putting pen to real paper. What ifs are
turned into heartfelt stories of love where there will always be a
HEA.
Rachel lives in the South West of
England and daydreams about shoes with red soles, lingerie and
chocolate. If she’s not writing HEAs, she’s probably reading
them. She is a wife and has a beautiful daughter.
For every woman who's ever desired
more.

At that moment, my feet refused to take
me home. They were glued in place. Jake’s sad eyes locked with mine
and I couldn’t look away. All I saw was a little boy who wanted to
be like his older brother. His idle stare gave me the impression he
wasn’t surprised by the greeting. Like he was resigned to it. His
eyes didn’t let me go until the car sped off, and I could only make
out the red tail lights. I never saw his dad again, but I saw plenty
of his brother. Jake stayed close to him around school until he left
to go to university. We’ve been sort-of friends ever since. I never
ask him about his family, and he never volunteers any information.
It’s as if the evening never happened, yet it’s etched into my
mind so deeply I always think about it when I see the harsher side to
Jake. Those few moments had tied me to Jake, and although the tenuous
threads may have frayed, they always make me go easy on him when I
really should give up and never speak to him again. “Have you got
your essay finished?” I change the subject, wanting to get back to
surer ground. “Essay?” he asks, again looking for me to explain.
“You know, the one assigned last week comparing the multi-store
model of memory and the working memory model?” “Looks like I’ve
got a piss-poor memory, huh.” He wiggles his eyebrows humorously,
and I’m right back to loving him again. I turn away and bury my
head in my hands and try to balance out my own mood towards Jake. The
lesson is over with no other wisecracks from Jake, and I head over to
the other side of the school for my last lesson of the day. “Hey,
Lil, wait up,” Jake calls after me, and I freeze. He waits for the
steady stream of students to thin around us before going any further.
It’s my turn to look expectantly at him. “So, you have a better
offer for the weekend than what’s-her-name’s party?” “No, I
just don’t think it’s my thing.” I pull my books into my chest
and inch my feet towards my next class. As much as I want to keep
talking to Jake, I don’t want to be late. I keep my eyes away from
his, not wanting to get trapped in them. It’s a constant hazard I’m
susceptible to. I’m sure he can see everything I feel if he will
only look a little harder at me. As no other guy in school has ever
shown me any attention, I’m under no illusion the first one will be
Jake Stewart. My feet start toward the science block. Jake walks
beside me a little way. Sometimes, on the occasions when Jake was
close to acting like a normal friend, I felt as if he was waiting to
tell me something. It never transpired though and like all the other
times, he peels away and turns back in the opposite direction. No
‘bye’ or ‘see you later’, but then, that isn’t Jake’s
style.
