Drew Morrison made Tessa Chen's high school years miserable. The pranks, the nicknames, the way he made everyone laugh at her expense—she's spent fifteen years getting over it. Now she's a successful architect, and he's the developer who just bought the building she's renovating. Worse, he doesn't seem to remember what he did. Even worse, he keeps smiling at her like they're old friends. But Tessa remembers everything.
