For Carleigh "Carl" Stanger, college was meant to be a fresh start, an escape from the tumultuous life she left back home. But starting over isn't easy when her ex is attending the same college...

For his part, Tucker Green wants nothing to do with Carl. Avoidance proves to be impossible, however, when they're forced to work together in class. As they rediscover one another, Tucker starts to wonder if by withholding forgiveness, he's only punishing himself.

Back in each other's lives, Carl and Tuck must decide if their love is stronger than the circumstances that drove them apart in the first place. But when those circumstances breed an unexpected danger, it may be too late for them both.
