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.

Cal reluctantly agrees to the attend her high school class reunion under the impression Chase wouldn't return for such a trivial event. But the moment she catches a pair of familiar blue eyes on her, the memories and feelings she tucked away immediately flood her mind. As Chase begs for her forgiveness and time to explain, Calliope desperately tries to ignore the way her heart and her body still ache for him. The more time they spend together, trying to mend the pain, the walls around her heart begin to crumble. While her mind reminds her of the hurt and suffering he caused, Cal wonders if Chase is not only her first love but also her only love?
