When the man that shattered Mellisende's self-confidence and triggered a lasting struggle with insecurity, returning unexpectedly into her life, she can't help but feel like she's back to that night 3 years ago.

Mellisende Stanslaus had always been that bold girl, unafraid to express her thoughts about anything or anyone. This extended to the men she fancied, and to her, it wasn't significant until it became so. After developing feelings for Reign Wilder, a highly influential senior known for his wild reputation on their college campus, she experiences a taste of her own medicine. Before she knew it, the confident, charming, sweet, and kind Reign slipped away from her with just a few words, leaving behind only insecurity.

After 3 years of bitterness, anger, healing, and internal battles, just when she thinks she's healing and moving on, Reign barges right back into her life again. This time, Reign is determined to make up for his mistakes and win her forgiveness. Will he succeed? Will Mellisende look past her bitterness and the need to make Reign pay for what he said 3 years ago?
