WARNING: Having readily available tissues is recommended before you embark on this tear jerking journey.

When they met in high school, they were best friends but the timing for something more was never right. Lucas had found himself trapped in the friendzone while Sydney found herself stuck in a toxic relationship that later left her broken. 

Fueled by a series of events and a roller-coaster of emotions, their friendship ultimately falls through as they drift apart and embark on their own journies.

Eight years later and going through the motions of her present-day life, Sydney finds herself packing light and working as a travel nurse where she bounces from state to state. The only thing that can bring her back to the small West Virginia town she left behind is the news of her mother's worsening health. But when she comes back, she isn't prepared for the familiar faces that greet her. As their hope for a liver transplant dwindles, the last the thing on her mind is love. 

When she unexpectedly crosses paths with Lucas, will she find that the timing for them is finally right after the years they spent apart?

Or will the one who got away all those years ago, get away again?

In which two ex-step-siblings reconnect after just about blowing up their family the first time around... Three years ago, Maddie fell hard for Jacob Isaacs, the smartest boy in her school. The only problem was this: Her dad had quite literally gotten engaged to his mother. The two tried to dampen the flames of their burgeoning attraction for each other but not before they got caught and were the talk of the town for months. After the fall out, Maddie moved away to try and start her life over and not be known as the girl who got caught doing it with her 'brother' at prom. She hasn't seen her family in ages and intends to keep things that way. Jacob, on the other hand, has worked hard to accomplish everything he's ever dreamed of. He's stayed close to home, done exceptionally well at school, and is adored by just about everyone who meets him. There's only one problem: There's a Maddie-shaped hole where his heart used to be. But no matter how hard he tries to reach out and find her, he can't. She won't let him. He let her down and gave up on them when she needed him most. And she's not ready to forgive and forget. But then Maddie's dad passes and she's forced to come home for his funeral. It should be a quick visit. She intends to make it one. But Jacob has other plans. He let his girl slip through his fingers once and he won't let that happen again. So now he has to convince her to give him one more chance. After all, they're not related to each other anymore.
