Jillian and Peter had been best friends as children and had fallen in love as teenagers, but a cruel twist of fate tore them apart for a little over a decade. After a failed attempt at marriage, Peter goes home to his roots, seeking a fresh start, not expecting to find Jillian still living there and looking more beautiful than ever before. Life had been hard for Jillian. After losing Peter, she'd fallen in with the wrong crowd and she'd ended up as part of a violent gang. She'd spent a good majority of the last ten years behind bars for a crime she hadn't committed. Now that she's out, she just wants to concentrate on learning how to be herself again instead of pleasing everyone around her... but that's going to be next to impossible with Peter back and practically bending over backwards to get her to agree to give him another chance! Fate had interrupted their youthful romance, would it step back in and bring them back together or was it too late for that?
