Now, years later, he's lost more than the love of his life. Jobless, practically homeless, and out of options, he ends up sleeping on his best friend’s couch. He’s all but given up, until Ophelia suddenly returns. In the time since she last saw Clay, Ophelia has flourished. After letting the ‘mistake’ of Clay shape her into the woman she is, all of her biggest dreams have come true. But when she returns home, she’s reunited with a mixture of emotions. The most confusing part…is Clay. As best man and maid of honor at their friends’ wedding, they are thrust back into each other’s lives. Trying to stay on their own paths, they find themselves weaving through emotions they've both tried to forget. With each reminder of what she meant to him, he finds himself falling deeper for her. Ophelia, on the other hand, needs to decide if she's ready to take the jump with Clay - or if she is content right where she is. less
