Mason
I lost her once.
Melinda Shepard was the girl I never stopped wanting, and the one I pushed away long before I understood what losing her would cost me. We were never best friends. But when we were eleven, we were one bad moment away from becoming something that might have lasted... right up until I wrecked it.
Now, eight months later, we're starting over at the same university on athletic scholarships-and this time, I'm done pretending she means nothing to me.
Campus is huge, but somehow she's everywhere. In the stands. In the halls. In my head.
She says we're better off as strangers. Cute theory. Wrong guy.

I ran from him once.
Mason Pierce was never my best friend. He was the boy who got close enough to matter, and then mattered enough to hurt. Walking away from him was supposed to help me heal. Instead, he's still tangled up in parts of me I worked hard to piece back together.
Now I'm stronger than I was before. I have goals, friends, and a future I'm fighting hard to protect. Nothing will distract me from chasing the top of my sport. Except the boy who still knows exactly how to get under my skin and past every defense I've built.
But just when we dare to hope for something more, buried truths and impossible choices rise to the surface. And this time, losing each other could cost us everything.
Falling for your first almost-love twice? Turns out the second time might hurt even more.
