After choosing a career in music and leaving his hometown behind, country superstar, Max Hayes, finally decides it's time to return home. It's been eight years since he's been back and for a good reason. When he walked away, he didn't just leave behind his family, but his first love. The girl who he gave his heart to at eighteen. 

Olivia Wyatt. The mysteriously guarded girl next door, the one observing the world around her while hiding behind carefully crafted walls. Walls to protect herself from the darkness of her past that has left an indelible stamp on her heart. Strategically keeping to herself, she stays tucked safely behind those walls she's built, never letting anyone in. Until she finally does.

Finding You follows both Max and Olivia through their early friendship days, the trials of high school, young love, and the inevitable uphill battle that adulthood brings. Will their love stand the tests of time? Or will they be just another high school romance, one that you always remember as the first but never the last...

First loves are sometimes just that. But other times they leave us broken, questioning if the one that got away can ever be caught again.

15 parts Ongoing Mature
After landing a coveted accounting position, an ambitious accountant must prove his worth to his new colleagues, especially a grudge-bearing associate intent on making his new role hell. *** How do you recover from unrequited love? For Mark Dawson, the answer is moving to a new city. But New York has not quite welcomed him with open arms. Nor have his new coworkers, with their less than enthusiastic reception and passive-aggressive behavior. Ever the optimist, Mark is up for the challenge to earn their respect and ensure they do not mistake his kindness for weakness, starting with the gorgeous ringleader of the group; a cut-throat financial analyst who was vying for the same position. Sara Cruz is not just a pretty face and she's tired of always having to prove her value and losing out on opportunities just because she doesn't have an extra appendage between her legs. The most recent sting leaves her bitter and resentful towards the easy-on-the-eyes transfer senior accountant and sets out to send him packing, proving she is the better 'man' for the job that's rightfully hers. But with each attempt to discredit him, she's met with Mark's frustratingly calm and understanding demeanor. Sara realizes the bigger fight she must win-besides resisting his easy humor and attractive selflessness-is avoiding becoming a cliché office romance. ONC prompt #133
