The last person Venus ever wanted to see again is the one who could finally understand.
Nineteen-year-old Venus is an expert at running-from her broken home, from her abandoned dream of becoming a doctor, and from the memory of Adam Jones. Burying her heartbreak in sarcasm and the support of her ride-or-die friends, she's just trying to survive.
Adam was her first love, her first heartbreak, and the ghost she can't escape, even in her dreams. Now, at twenty, he's a law student transferring into her university, bringing with him a world of ambition and secrets she can't decipher.
Their worlds collide in a university hallway, a charged moment of shock and a smile that feels like a challenge. He's different now, hardened by a complicated life she knows nothing about. She's still fighting the same demons, but with sharper edges.
Drawn together by a past that won't let them go, they are forced to navigate tangled lies, family betrayals, and a connection that never truly faded. Can two people, broken by their own paths, find a way to heal each other, or will their complicated presents destroy any chance of a future?
