Eleanor Peréz has never had an easy life. For the past six years, she's endured  living in an abusive household, but hope finally emerges when her mother wins custody, allowing Eleanor to escape her father's grasp. Returning to her old town, Eleanor is reunited with familiar faces, rekindling old friendships and perhaps something more.

Despite her past, Eleanor's sunshine personality remains unbroken. She radiates warmth and positivity, drawing people in with her sunny smile. Among those who never forgot her is Carter Thompson, her childhood best friend. But Carter isn't the shy, nerdy boy she once knew. Now the captain of the football team, he's got the attention of every girl in school-but his heart has always belonged to Eleanor.

As they learn to live in each other's lives again, Eleanor and Carter are forced to confront the undeniable chemistry between them. Will their childhood love bloom into something deeper, or will the scars of Eleanor's past keep her from opening her heart?

I hope you enjoy it,
Love
