Once she got to know this young man, she came to realize that he wasn't who she thought he'd be.
But than his past resurfaced, bringing much surprises, confessions, and heart crushing secrets.
Hayden had learned previously that terrible things happen, but in a blink of an eye she hadn't expected Ryder's life to become nonexistent.
And now, five years later, settled with a fiancè, one who is keeping secrets, Hayden believes she is happy again.
But the thing is, she doesn't remember what being happy feels like.
