Senior year of high school has finally arrived. Mia Dove can't have any distractions from her school work. She had moved on from her childhood and looked to the future, university, a career and maybe even a family. She didn't live in the moment as much as she used to but neither did her mother. Her role model, even if she wasn't home most of the year.
Unlike Mia, Luke Smith couldn't move on from the past; so instead he chose to forget. It's the same thing, right? Maybe that's how he was able to keep his sanity. However, he still had his occasional outbursts of anger which gave him a reputation. Not only that, but he jumped from girl to girl every month or so. If this was good or bad, it didn't matter to him. He didn't want to be close to anyone other than his best friends, Amy and Jamie. Even though his idea of 'close' is hanging out with them two hours a day.
With the recent murders in their small town, Timeston, everyone is on edge. A single madman has been on the loose for over three years now, and there is no hope. Until maybe a person who knows too much, and tells too little is ready to confess.
Two teens who seem polar opposites have a long road ahead of them, where each collide learning that they aren't all that different from each other. Trust being built and destroyed, it wouldn't have started if that damn player didn't sit beside Mia in first period.
When Chef Margot loses her beloved restaurant to her cheating ex-fiance, her best friend, single dad Nathan, steps in with an unexpected offer to help her start over. As they collaborate, sparks fly-but can they overcome their complicated pasts for a chance at real love?
