Donovan and Aubrey—their childhood connection forged by their families' business partnership—had a crush on each other since they were kids. But during Donovan's graduation party, everything unraveled. His mistake shattered their teenage romance, and Aubrey fled to NYC for university. 

Fast forward a decade, and Aubrey's trapped in a toxic relationship. Fate intervenes, pulling her back to Oakwood Valley. Donovan seizes this second chance with unwavering determination. He's the kind of guy who fights for love, even when Aubrey pushes him away like a ninja dodging shurikens. As the MMC, Donovan ticks all the boxes: protective, supportive, and unyielding. 

Ginsa's writing is crystal clear—I could visualize every part. The book packs a punch of spice, and I cried rivers (only my pillow knows how much!). From Aubrey's abusive ex to the road of forgiveness, grief, and recovery, MMITV wrecked my heart. And that epilogue? It left me with happy tears. Highly recommend this emotional rollercoaster! Keep your tissues close.🤧
