Unrequited love. Betrayal. Forgiveness.
Four years ago, Dani Trant looked at Court Foster with stars in her eyes. At only fourteen, the bright-eyed girl fell head over heels for the seventeen-year-old farm boy who only saw her as a 'kid', instead setting his sights on her older sister, Maureen.
Broken-hearted and betrayed, Dani was sent across the country to care for her aging great-aunt.
Four years pass before she returns home to Louisiana. Gone is the lanky 'Lump' of a girl. In the time she was away, she grew into the fine young woman she was always destined to become.
But she faces an uphill battle upon her return to a house that no longer feels like home. With her sights set on law school, she's more than eager to make it through the summer and attend Harvard in the fall. But will past feelings float to the surface regarding that of Court Foster, the farm boy neighbor and family friend that broke her heart nearly half a decade ago? Or will her heart possibly be stolen by the small town's notorious 'bad boy', James Foxx, who is instantly drawn to her sharp wits and fiery spirit?
Now, Court can't help but admire the beautiful young woman she's grown into. He sees the spitfire of a girl with new eyes. But will she ever look at him again with stars in hers? Or will James crash through her cosmos and leave his mark instead?
