Kit Morgan has always hated change—he's as steady as they come.

At least, that's what his friends think. Feeling trapped by a routine he never wanted but everyone expects, Kit is almost glad when his life suddenly falls apart—especially when it leads to him running into his middle school girlfriend, Skyler, who happens to need a fake fiancé for a family reunion.

The two pick up where they left off seventeen years prior, and Kit reverts back to the friendly and fun-loving person she knew for the semester they were together—someone completely different from the role he's been playing his entire life. Desperate to cling to his chance to change his life for the better and finally live the life he's always wanted, Kit is ready to tell Skyler he's in it for real. The problem? She has no intention of settling down anytime soon. Or ever.

Torn between the reliable life he's always known and a sweeter one without guarantees, Kit has to convince Skyler—and himself—that past patterns can be broken and relationships are worth fighting for.

Otherwise, he might lose the only person who's ever known the real him.
