What happens when a 27 year old Country music sensation is forced to "Start Over" as a single dad? Will he be able to move on and trust again? Will his love for his daughter be the key to helping him find the happiness they both want and deserve?

Hunter's POV "OPEN YOUR EYES LAUREN! Maybe we weren't meant to do this, people do stupid stuff when their young and in love. LOOK WHERE OUT LOVE IS TAKING ME, US. DO YOU NOT SEE IT? DO YOU NOT CARE?!" I screamed at her as my hands fell to my side...

Hunter's POV "Why?" She questioned me with anger,"because I loved you so much I was willing to give you up." (A scene from the story)

Maybe we can change the world, one heart at a time...

What will happen now that Bethany has returned to Nashville, to Hunter? Will they reunite, or will the forces of pride and destiny get in the way? Love can grow, or love can die. All they know is they're starting over, and every time they take a step forward, they wind up two steps back.
