I'm the girl who doesn't let anyone in. My world was shattered and turned upside down in one night. Since then I've been trying to live, if that's what you call it....

Lauren captivated me with those big brown eyes of hers, and I knew my life would never be the same. What started out as friendship has turned into so much more. I was shocked when Tristian asked for my number. There hasn't been a day since that I haven't heard from him....

I've always had a thing for my best friend's older brother. In fact, I've been planning our wedding since elementary school. Then I grew up, moved away, and studying, and law school became my only focus. Now that I'm back, the sexy cowboy is everywhere I turn.

Two years of silence and no goodbye—she slipped away and through my fingers, leaving me with nothing but questions . . . and a heavy heart from missing her. I know what we had was real, that our love was once in a lifetime.
