Things can change in an instant…
Adam Stone learned that the hard way. At twenty-two, Adam knew his brothers and sister must become his top – his only – priority, and so, instead of confessing his unending love for his best friend, he makes the heartbreaking decision to let her go. However, Adam soon realizes he made the wrong choice. His life isn’t worth living without her.
Ember Young has loved Adam for so long she can’t remember a time she didn’t. He’s always been the person she could count on, and though it was only as besties, she’s ready to see if it can be more. Until the devastating loss of his parents proves how short life can be, and Adam, overwhelmed with grief and responsibility, pushes her away.
As Adam adapts to his new reality, outside forces work against him, not by seeking the destruction of his burgeoning relationship, but that of a family that’s slowly healing.
