One phone call can change everything…
Kristen Riley has a tough exterior and an elastic heart, forged from the abandonment of her father at a young age. She’s always held her cards close to her chest, never allowing anyone to get too close.
Except for Alex Henley – the boy, who at sixteen was a fun-loving prankster that never took life too seriously, and as a man, hides the deep-seated fear that he will never be enough behind a veil of nonchalance.
Despite their reluctance to dive head-first into a fully committed relationship, they’ve always known they were endgame and when Kristen notices a quiet change in Henley’s character, an understated attentiveness and maturity, she opens up to the possibility of a future with him.
Then without warning, Henley does the one thing she can never forgive him for. He leaves.
Six months later, Henley arrives back in Cliff Haven, the seaside town they’ve always called home, with a mysterious blonde in tow. But the man that returns is a far cry from the one Kristen once knew, his easy-going nature and cheerful disposition supressed by a constant storm cloud hovering above his head.
Kristen is furious, determined to leave Henley in the past, but she can’t deny that her heart still belongs to him. She wants answers that he isn’t ready to provide.
Why did Henley leave the life they were building behind? Who is the enigmatic blonde woman that doesn’t leave his side?
And does she know more than she’s letting on?
