About this book

When Emily walks away from her first love, she discovers she's been running toward something—or rather, someone—all along: the man who's consumed her every thought since the moment they met. Broken and unraveling, she's risking everything on a reunion that could either mend her shattered heart or tear open wounds that never fully healed. As Emily and Gavin come face-to-face with their past and the intensity of what they still feel for each other, they'll have to decide if their love is strong enough to survive the scars between them. This is a raw, deeply emotional story about second chances and whether some souls are truly meant to find their way back to each other.
