Adelaide River Sanchez was 17 years-old when she first experienced heartbreak. After three years of blissfully dating who she had thought was her soulmate, she is dumped in exchange for a stress-free college life. After completing her own college experience, and a year of travelling in an attempt to avoid her ex, Adelaide must now return home to assemble her future. The only thing she is sure of- she will no longer be the naive, vulnerable little girl that was once abandoned and left heartbroken.
Grayson North Solano had dumped his girlfriend six years ago to fully grasp the college experience of parties, girls and alcohol. Despite the several memories he holds dear from college life, none compare to the memories that haunt him of his childhood sweetheart, the woman he is now sure he wants to spend the rest of his life with. Unfortunately, it has been six years since he has seen her and he fears she no longer feels the same way. But Grayson is ready to fight to remind Adelaide of what she once fought for as well, their relationship.
