Jake
She’s back. Seven years of silence and she comes rolling into town acting like she didn’t decimate me when she left.
Sure, she’s still the most beautiful woman I’ve ever laid eyes on. More so now than back when we were nothing but a couple of naive kids with hearts in our eyes. But if she thinks she can waltz back into my life like nothing ever happened, she’s got another thing coming. It’s taken me too much time and a lot of hard work to put the pieces back together.
Even still, I can’t help but wonder what could have been. Teresa Davidson was once the love of my life – my soulmate – and deep down, I know that hasn’t changed. Admitting it might make me a fool. But Lord help me, I still want her.

Tessa
I’m back. Seven years away has been too long, and with my mom’s recent diagnosis, I had no choice but to return.
The problem is, my biggest regret still haunts me here and his ocean eyes seem to find me wherever I go, regarding me with a cold detachment I despise. If he’d just give me five minutes of his time, I could explain. But Jake Nelson has always been incredibly stubborn, and he can really hold a grudge.
I hate knowing the love of my life – my soulmate – can’t stand the sight of me. But I can’t let his pride get in the way of everything we could be. Come hell or high water, I’ll find a way to wear him down.
