Clara Yates never thought that at 28, she'd be returning to her old high school as a teacher. But when a disastrous confession from her boyfriend turns her life upside-down, that's exactly where she finds herself. She's determined to make the best of it—think of it as a new space, make new friends, forget the girl she used to be.
Unfortunately, when she arrives, she discovers that there is one person there who knows her: Damian Evans, the one person she can't stand, the one person she hoped she'd never have to see again. And Clara can't avoid him. While she tries to get her fresh start, Damian is everywhere, all the time, and she can't get rid of him—or the horrible history she'd rather forget about. What will happen when she's forced to confront her past?
