When Greensville's golden girl, Serena Sinclair, returns to her hometown after a burnout, she isn't expecting much- especially not a run-in with Tristan Everhart, the "frenemy" she left behind along with her embarassing and complicated childhood. Even worse? He lives next door.
-----------------
Serena Sinclair was always destined for greatness. At 18, she left Greensville to chase her dreams in Paris, landing a prestigious job at a top tech company. But the city of lights wasn't as bright as she'd imagined. Isolated and struggling to keep up, Serena's life quickly spiraled- her French was shaky, her coworkers mocked her, and her arranged engagement was falling apart. Overwhelmed and exhausted, she did the unthinkable: she walked away from it all and returned to the one place she swore she'd never go back to.
Now, back in Greensville, Serena finds herself face-to-face with Tristan Everhart. Once on track to be an Olympic swimmer, Tristan is now the successful CEO of Artiler IN, one of the top architecture firms in the country. With his looks and charm, he's Greensville's "Golden Boy"- a title he wears well. But to Tristan, Serena was always the wild card in his perfectly ordered life- the "lunatic" he could never quite shake, but secretly never wanted to. They were the definition of frenemies, a constant push and pull of emotions.
But ten years have passed, and things aren't the same. As they navigate the changes in each other and in themselves, life in Greensville is about to get a lot more complicated. Old feelings begin to resurface, and they're forced to confront the possibility that the person they've been searching for all along might have been right in front of them the entire time.
