First loves. Broken hearts. Second chances.

Laney Thorton

I never thought I’d meet the love of my life at nineteen, but the second I saw Bowen Wright up on that stage, I was a goner. He was sweet, sexy, had a voice that could make you weak in the knees…and turned out to be nothing but a lying sack of—it doesn’t matter. I’d been ready to change my whole life to be with him until the day he broke my heart. Determined to forget that summer ever happened, I moved on with my life and never looked back…except that’s a lie, and despite how pathetic it is, Bowen still has a piece of my heart.

But when a deathbed confession from my mother changes everything I thought I knew about that awful day, I know I have to do the unthinkable and see him one last time…

Bowen Wright

I have everything I’ve ever wanted: a huge record deal, hit after hit on country radio, a sold-out stadium tour…but the one thing that would make my life truly complete is the one thing I can never have. I’d made damn sure of that when I’d shattered Laney’s heart fifteen years ago. I know she moved on and probably still curses my name, but it kills me that I’ll never get the chance to tell her the truth—until the night she shows up backstage, demanding answers.

Will the truth even matter after all these years? Can we possibly have a second chance at forever?

Or do broken hearts just stay broken forever?
