Mel just moved back to New York City. She left four years ago after the love of her life was killed in a tragic accident. Since then, she's been trying to heal her shattered heart, trying to move forward from the loss of the one she planned her future with. She hasn't dated anyone since she lost Justin- it always felt too soon. 

Now, she thinks she's ready to start over, ready to move forward and give dating another try. It's time to live her life in the present instead of always looking to the past. Will coming back to the city that wrecked her world prove to be too much for Mel? Or will the city that stole the love of her life give her a second chance at happily ever after?  

......

Liam has been called many things in his life, but 'playboy', 'cheater', and 'f*ckboy' are not included in that list. He's one of the good ones. The best friend, the big brother, the papa bear. But after years and years of concentrating on his career and his family, he finally thinks he's found what he's been missing in his life- romance. 

The only problem? The woman he's interested in may not be ready for anything serious. She's been through a lot in her life, including losing the man she loved more than anything in the world. To complicate matters, the man she lost was one of Liam's best friends. Will Liam be able to show her that new love can grow after tragedy? Or will their shared history prove too difficult to overcome?All Rights Reserved

His dream was always to skate the cup at least once, but as he enters the late stage of his long, tumultuous career, he finds himself struggling to perform like he once had as a younger, inspired player.

After having moved to the Big Apple to pursue a better life outside of the dangerous one she found herself leading in the Midwest, she finds herself stagnating after getting her degree from Columbia. She quietly enjoys her job at the public library, treading water while the undeniable feeling of discontent grows stronger within her.
