Five years ago, I fell head over heels for Drew Walker.

We were only friends, but the dreamy pro surfer, should have been my forever man.

Before anything could ignite between us, tragedy struck, shattering our chances of finding happiness. We haven't seen each other since.

Until now. When our eyes lock across the room and Drew flashes his irresistible smile, it's as if no time has passed at all. My heart melts, and I find myself drawn to his charm again.

As we reconnect, I realize fixing our past may be more complicated than I imagined. Drew's demons run deep, and his walls are higher than ever. Yet, beneath his rugged exterior, I see glimpses of the man I fell for years ago. Despite his bad boy reputation, I'm determined to break through his barriers and show him I'm the one who got away.

But with danger lurking in the shadows, our journey to forever becomes a race against time, where love might not be enough to save us.
