May the memory of their love stay with you always. Especially when it hurts.  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nBlurb  \nA rising star hits rock bottom…  \nIt was supposed to be her next big break—the kind of dream role that would make actress Gia Lien a household name—but a predatory producer turned it into a nightmare. With her career and sobriety hanging in the balance, Gia leaves Los Angeles for the hometown she fled a decade before.  \nAn old flame brings new fire…  \nJake West screwed up his life a long time ago, and he’s been making the best of it ever since. He’s a lawyer now, and the adoptive dad of a daughter with a mischievous streak. But when it comes to love, his heart belongs to a woman he only sees on big screens and supermarket tabloids. Until she walks back into Willowbrook like she never left.  \nA second chance at first love…  \nJake is the very last person Gia wants to see, but somehow he’s everywhere she looks—hanging out in her family’s restaurant, being called uncle by her nieces, taking care of the daughter he adopted. He’s no longer the boy she remembers, but she’s also not the girl who naively handed over her heart. No matter how tempting…some cravings are too dangerous to indulge.  \nDive into the delicious slow burn of the second installment in the Willowbrook series. CRAVE is a standalone, angsty romance about childhood friends who became first loves–only to end in heartbreak. Can a second chance breathe new life into ancient history?  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  ","cbCaimWrGbScNeix","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimWrGbScNeix","pdf",3239675,301,"English","en",105,"# Contents\n## Prologue and Chapters\n## Blurb and Warnings\n## Selected Epilogue","[{\"question\":\"Who are the main characters in Crave (Willowbrook Novel Book 2)?\",\"answer\":\"The story centers on Gia Lien, an actress rebuilding after her career and sobriety are jeopardized, and Jake West, a lawyer and adoptive dad drawn back into her life.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the main premise of the book?\",\"answer\":\"Gia returns to Willowbrook seeking refuge and control, only to face Jake again as childhood-first-love feelings resurface, creating a slow-burn romance with dangerous emotional and personal stakes.\"},{\"question\":\"Who is the book intended for, and what content warnings are included?\",\"answer\":\"The book is for 18+ contemporary romance readers and includes trigger warnings covering topics such as mental health issues, grief, self-destructive behaviors, explicit language and sexually explicit scenes, and threatened violence implied in parts.\"}]","Crave -
