Serendipity

Charlotte met Adam when she was fifteen. She was studious, reserved, and guarded. He was bold, outgoing, and full of mystery she couldn't quite unravel.

Tutoring Adam was supposed to be just another way to check off her volunteer hours-but what began as an obligation turned into the kind of first love Charlotte had only read about. Until one summer afternoon, Adam shattered it all with the words that he was leaving New York-for good. That was the last time she would see him... or so she believed.

Years later, Charlotte has learned how to build walls high enough to keep everyone out. Life has made her sharper, stronger, and a little rougher around the edges. But when she finally decides to seek help, the last person she expects to find standing across from her is Adam.

The boy who once broke her heart is now a man with scars of his own. As old feelings resurface, Charlotte is faced with the hardest question of all: can they survive the weight of who they've become, or are some hearts too fractured to piece back together?
