Intriguing Illusions
​
Would you take a second chance on first love, even at the cost of everything?​

Ellie Whitman has it all; a thriving career, beautiful twin daughters, and a loving husband. But behind the picturesque facade, Ellie's unexplained discontentment is quickly gaining traction. When her first love suddenly reemerges, Ellie has the chance to alter the trajectory of her life.

Garrett Lindstrum has always kept close tabs on the girl he left behind. Older, wiser, and perhaps even more cunning than the high school boy who broke her heart, Garrett once again has his sights set on Ellie. Time materializes as the two reacquaint themselves and they hastily resume long forgotten patterns. Garrett knows what he wants, the only question remains is whether or not Ellie is as sure.
