Riley spent those same years chasing what he lost, never knowing a piece of his heart was growing up without him. What began as young love turned into a story written in distance, in missed chances, and in the quiet bond of a child who unknowingly tied them together. When the chase finally ends, who will be the hunter or the hunted?

Alon Gabrielle Medrano's publisher is demanding for a romance novel before her most recent murder mystery can be published-a genre that she sworn off nearly two years ago. Desperate times call for desperate measures. She finds herself hopping on a flight to Boracay for a change of scenery and to find some inspiration. When that doesn't work, she ends up downloading the dating app that she vowed to stay away from forever. It seems like a solid game plan until she comes across a profile whose bio hits a little too close to home...

Epiphany leaves her job, gets accused by her old college friend (now turned ex-friend) of seducing her douchebag boyfriend, and gets kicked out of the apartment all at the same day. She has has nowhere else to go, no family to run to, and no friends to call for help. She's all alone in this world and she has no one to blame but herself. That's what she gets for burning unwanted bridges. An old friend still gets a wind of her current situation and offers her place as a refuge. Pride is all Epiphany has but she doesn't have any choice but to swallow it whole and accept her friend's offer. Her friend omitted one particular detail though... Epiphany will have to live with the reason why she burned all of the bridges in the first place-her ex.
