Stuck in her hometown, Willow Delainey lives a life she always thought she would escape. Working a nine-to-five, struggling to stay afloat, and a chronic people-pleaser. She found comfort in solace and silence, but everything gets flipped upside down when the man who Willow once saw as her soulmate- then villain- comes back to town. Memories of a rough childhood and heartache hit harder than ever before with him back. Bastian Deyes ran from Bentley, Colorado as fast as he could. A lifetime of trauma in only two decades fueled his desire to fly across the country. Bastian joined the army and moved to South Carolina, perfectly content with never going back to Colorado. Seven years later, Bastian is called back to Bentley to settle family matters. It isn't a surprise that the woman who's always on his mind happens to run into him on the first day. Willow is desperate to hide away from the memories that Bastian conjures and realizes just how much she had created in her own mind. Once the closest friends, now strangers. Bastian wants to fix everything he'd done wrong in the past, but will Willow accept it? Can this proximity help mend the relationship that they once had, or destroy what's left of it?
