Whitney Lowe is too comfortable.

Nothing has changed from fifteen to twenty-five. Her boyfriend will never propose. The promotion she wants will never come. She doesn't know how she got here.

Alden has always been a little out of reach for Whitney. He's two years older, a huge flirt, and lives life like a nomad.

So there really isn't anyone better than him to show her how to find herself again.All Rights Reserved
