Liliana Esme, a newly published author trying to get her footing in a new job role, invites her childhood best friend to her book launch, not expecting him to turn up. Fourteen years before she had left him standing on the train station platform watching as she ran away to Edinburgh. On the night of her launch, she sees him across the room and everything comes flooding back.
Taron is a world famous actor who had missed his best friend more than he cared to admit. The second he sees her, the years melt away and he's an eighteen year old watching the girl he loves move to a different country away from him. He is determined to stay in touch with the person who once meant the world to him, even if it kills him.
Liliana didn't have the easiest childhood, and being around Taron again brings feelings to the surface that she'd tried her hardest to forget. Will her feelings for Taron make her run for the hills again, or will she succumb to them and let herself fall for the man she's always loved?
