❝You know, sometimes starting over isn't just an option. Sometimes it's your only option.❞

Taylor's been the O'Donnells' best-kept secret for the entire seventeen years of her existence. And she's fed up with it. So when the opportunity presents itself for her to run away, she seizes it without a second thought-and drives the seven hours it takes to get to her cousin Devon's apartment in California. But there's one incredibly unanticipated problem in Taylor's grand plan: Derek Quinn.

But you can't keep running away from your past. It's bound to catch up to you eventually.
