Summary
Description: Claire Bennett has loved Ethan Ashford for as long as she can remember. She defended him when no one else would, comforted him through his darkest nights, and grew up believing the aloof boy who followed at her heels would always choose her. Then a stranger in a tailored suit punches Ethan and makes an impossible claim: he is Ethan at twenty-eight, returned to stop his younger self from making the same mistake. His warning is meant for Claire. Stay away. Shaken by a future in which their devotion has curdled into resentment, eighteen-year-old Ethan begins choosing excitement over loyalty. He lets the glamorous Vanessa Vale take Claire's seat, accepts her attention, and treats years of shared history as a burden he is desperate to escape. Every public rejection breaks Claire a little more, until even love is no longer enough to make her stay. With the college entrance exams approaching, Claire turns her pain into ambition. She withdraws from Ethan, fights for a place at an Ivy League university, and starts imagining a life that does not revolve around him. But the farther she moves beyond their past, the more Ethan begins to understand what his future self failed to tell him: freedom can look a lot like loss once the person who always loved you finally lets go. The future has already warned them how their story ends. Now Claire must decide whether it deserves another beginning. Author Biography: Vivian Hayes creates passionate love stories about desire, secrets, and the lengths we go for love.
