Seventeen years ago, Jay Halstead and Hailey Upton were just two stubborn teenagers from Ridgewood High-rivals who somehow became friends, then something more. One impulsive night changed everything, but fear and silence tore them apart before the truth could surface.
Now Jay's back, no longer the high school quarterback but a decorated Army veteran and detective. He's come home to a small town full of ghosts-and one secret that's been waiting nearly two decades to find him.
When he meets Lena, a sharp-eyed, guarded seventeen-year-old who reminds him too much of someone he once loved, the past begins to unravel.
Love. Forgiveness. Family.
Sometimes the hardest battles aren't fought on the field or in the warzone-they're the ones that bring you home.
