At 16, Alex became a mom and lost her heart to James-the boy who's spent the last five years drifting in and out of her life, always with a ring, never with real roots. Now 22, she's found stability working at from Cooper's, the café owned by her best friend Jackson and his brother, Lucas, to the local paper as a secretary.
It was the Cooper's late father who took Alex in when she needed it most, and now she clings to the only real family she's known. But when James returns-again-Alex is torn between the boy who's always had a piece of her heart and the quiet, steady presence who's always been there.
In a life full of maybes and almosts, Alex has to decide what's worth holding onto... and what was almost something.
