Ciara's life has returned to normal for the most part. There's been no dark messages in her locker or masked psychopaths lurking in the shadows. She's months from graduating high school – the end is in sight - when Denver blows through her back door like a whirlwind, stirring up old hurts and confusing emotions. Denver comes in hard and fast, and the chase is on, but Ciara has her doubts, and their past sits between them like an impenetrable wall that may be too hard for her to climb. Denver makes promises, but Ciara fears he's running on empty. Denver has a history of abandoning her in her time of need.

Denver seeks revenge, but Ciara's no saint. She has her own secrets, ones she doesn't want Denver to find out. Can Ciara keep her eyes on the prize, or will Denver prove to be too much of a distraction?
