Five years ago, Jamie broke Poppy's heart. Now, their lives couldn't be more different.
Poppy has left the past behind, trading heartbreak for a life of purpose. As a newly qualified midwife, her hands are full, her heart is open, and her future is bright. She's worked hard to become the woman she is today, and she's never been happier.
Jamie, meanwhile, is living a life many only dream of. A hot-shot footballer, he has fame, fortune, and a beautiful wife, Bethany. Their perfect life is rounded out by a baby on the way. But behind the glitz and glamour, a familiar ache remains. He's haunted by the regret of losing Poppy, and his perfect life with Bethany is riddled with cracks, cracks that threaten to shatter his world.
When fate brings them back together, the long-lost love of their teenage years ignites once more. Jamie is determined to win back the girl he should have never let go of. But Poppy is no longer the heartbroken teenager he left behind. She's a woman who knows her worth, and she won't be easily swayed by a man who once broke her.
Can they find their way back to each other, or are some things better left in the past? In a world of secrets and second chances, can they finally find a love that lasts? A love that was always meant to be. A love that was always... the way they were.
