Social-recluse Parker Collins doesn't expect to cross paths with the girl whose life he ruined years ago. But in a cold world that's left him bitter time and time again, maybe she's all the sugar he needs.
*****
When Sugar Pearce moves into apartment 2B, the last person she expects for an upstairs neighbour is Parker Collins, her high school crush. But he's hardly the popular golden boy that she remembers; now he's a quiet, hard-working lawyer who doesn't like company and doesn't date. So when Sugar keeps running into him, at work and in their steamy apartment laundry room, she can't help but feel that fate is giving them a second chance at love. But is she ready to face the secrets that pulled them apart all those years ago? Is he?
