Taylor Peterson is hoping for a fresh start. With her best friend, Sophia, and the rest of their little gang by her side, she's confident she can shake off the problems that haunted her last semester and move forward. The only thing standing in her way of total happiness is an inconvenient new crush.

Ransom Holt has had to work hard for everything he has. With enough family drama to inspire a soap opera, he's thankful to have met new friends he can count on. Now if he could only convince Taylor she can count on him back, life would be perfect.

The more they get to know each other, the deeper this unlikely pair falls. But Ransom doesn't know everything, and when Taylor's past comes calling, they'll only have each other to depend on.
