Redwood Creek. The small, forgotten town in California. It was where Kelsey Harrington had stayed her whole life, with her father and brother in their small little two-storey house. She's never even been to Los Angeles, and that's only a 4 hour drive away! It was also the home Declan Reed left. He never wanted to look back when he received a full football scholarship to University of California, UCLA. Until circumstances of life forced him to return, not even 8 months into college life. Declan's dreams were shattered, and he returned to Redwood Creek a broken man on the cusp of his adulthood. Kelsey is caring and bright, but way too comfortable in life to think of using her intelligence anywhere else. They are good for each other. But will they let the other help? Because every girl has a guy she won't stop loving. And every guy has a girl he won't stop fighting for.
