He's got great friends and everything is just perfect. It seems as though everything is finally coming together for him after the pain he went through so many years ago.
High school junior Annie James is quiet and has no friends; she’s just trying to make it through high school. And although she craves friendship and a normal high school life, no one notices her and that’s kind of how she prefers it. No one notices. No one asks questions. No one asked about the cuts on her wrists or her tear stained, tired eyes in the morning. Annie prefers to keep things to herself. That's how she gets by.
So what happens when an accomplished, successful, and most popular guy finally notices the high school loner? Unprecedented sparks fly. But will they last?

But, even in a sea of a million, I'd always choose Jake Jameson. I felt safe with him. Safe with my secrets, my dreams and eventually - my heart. I thought we'd have forever together. That was a long time ago. I thought I'd forgotten those piercing blue eyes and the sound of his laugh. I tried to obliterate the memory of his touch from my mind. But, one single glance, as he stands at my door, twelve years later, and I'm suddenly transported back to a simpler time when love was easy, and my heart was whole. The problem? I'm marrying his best friend.Complete
