Aliyah Tate has it all. Her life is seemingly perfect. She has good grades, a supportive family, and amazing friends. Her whole life has been planned out for her. That is until a failed class jeopardizes the changes of getting into her dream college. But when she's given an opportunity to fix her mistakes, she crosses paths with the last person she ever expected. Kayden Hughes has nothing. After growing up with abusive and neglectful parents, he's been in the foster care system for the past three years. He's gone his entire life taking hit after hit, never having any sense of stability. Every time he lets someone in, he ends up either losing them or getting hurt. He's on a completely opposite path. Yet somehow, he finds his life suddenly entangled with Aliyah's. She's determined to change his path for the better, while he's determined to not let anyone through his boundaries. But as they begin to grow closer and closer, it becomes obvious that only one of them will succeed.
