She's a daydreamer. One with big plans.

He was the boy next door. Then he grew up.

After years of planning, Layla Swanson is months away from the one thing she's been waiting for. She's graduating from her tiny high school and going to college. Away from Hollow Oaks, the small town she's spent her entire life in. She's moving on to bigger and better things. And she won't let anything—or anyone—get in her way.

Then she runs into Taylor Scott. A childhood friend who's all grown up. A childhood friend she now only passes in the halls of Oak High. He's handsome and sweet. Despite the years since they've been close, he still knows her better than anyone else.

As something new flares to life between them, something that could be worth everything, Layla must choose between her lifelong plan to get away from Hollow Oaks and the one who's captured her heart.
