Until the dream comes crashing down around her. With no good options, she decides to move back home to Trinity, Alabama to nurse her broken heart and figure out where to go from here. But in her absence some things have changed drastically including some additions to the town she doesn't remember from her first time around. Can she navigate this new landscape and keep her heart from being shredded once more? Wade Haston hasn't had life any easier. His first love is now married, and the grandmother who raised him no longer recognizes him. Hurting and very much alone, he has decided that love is a one-way street to getting your heart shattered. However, when a beautiful former Trinity resident shows up, his commitment to being a “confirmed bachelor” might be harder to stick to than he thought. Love always sounded so easy, but he's no longer sure love is even worth it. Can he convince her, much less himself, to give love a second chance, and if he does, will he just end up where he started?
