Grey hatte Spuren in meinem Herzen hinterlassen. Und ich hoffe so sehr, dass ich auch welche in seinem hinterlassen habe Als ich meinen neuen Job als Nanny einer reichen Familie antrat, ahnte ich nicht, dass es Greysons Kinder waren, die ich betreuen würde. Und auch nicht, dass aus dem Junge, den ich einmal geliebt hatte, ein Mann geworden ist – ein eiskalter, einsamer, unnahbarer Mann. Greys Lachen ist verschwunden. Alles an ihm ist in Schmerz versunken. Doch ab und zu erkenne ich noch den Jungen von damals in seinen sturmgrauen Augen – und ich weiß, dass es sich um ihn zu kämpfen lohnt. "Brittainy C. Cherry ist für mich die Königin der Worte und Emotionen. Niemand kann dich mit seinen Geschichten gleichzeitig so glücklich und traurig machen wie sie." BERENIKES BÜCHERHIMMEL HE LEFT HIS MARK ON ME. AND ALL I HOPED WAS THAT SOMEHOW, I‘D LEAVE A MARK ON HIS SOUL, TOO Greyson East left his mark on me. As the young girl who first fell for him, I didn’t know much about life. I did know about his smiles, though, and his laughs, and the strange way my stomach flipped when he was near. Life was perfect … until it wasn’t, and when we were forced to go our separate ways, I held on to our memories, let go of my first crush, and wished for the day I’d find him again. When my wish came true, it was nothing like I imagined. I couldn’t have known when I took the nanny position that it would be his children I looked after, that my new boss would be that boy I used to know, that boy who was now a man – a cold, lonely, detached man. The smile and laugh I had loved so much were gone, now distant memories. Every part of him was covered in a fresh pain. When he realized who I was, he made me promise to do my job and my job only. He made me promise not to try to get to know him, not to recall the memories I’d treasured all this time. But, sometimes, I saw the boy I’d once known in his stormy eyes. I saw the Greyson who smiled and laughed, who had stolen a young girl’s heart, and there was no doubt in my mind that this boy was worth fighting for. I was given a second chance with the one who’d left his mark on me. All I hoped was that somehow I’d leave a mark on his soul, too. »Brittainy Cherry is perfection.« ANNA TODD
