Noah Winters was my heart's desire, the boy I loved desperately and had hoped to spend my future with. Until our plans were derailed and life took us in completely different directions. * * * When our fate changed, and our paths crossed again, nothing prepared me for the punch to the heart when I saw him . . . or his anger and bitterness. * * * He was no longer the boy I once knew, but a hardened Olympic swimmer with life goals that no longer aligned with mine. * * * All because I lied. * * * But sometimes, hiding the truth was necessary, especially when it freed someone you loved to reach their aspirations and dreams. * * * It's said that time heals all wounds, but what I found was that it can also create an enemy. * * * That meant I had a choice. * * * Apologize to Noah, and possibly let him into my heart again . . . or allow him to live his life without knowing why I walked away. Without knowing that I never actually wanted to leave. *This book contains health issue and baby loss mentions* To second chances. For giving them, for getting them, for taking them.
