Archer has been in love with the same girl since seventh grade. When Ivy comes back into his life—bruised, broken, and haunted by secrets—he knows he can't lose her again.

But Ivy made a promise to her daughter. No one would hurt them again. She's afraid to trust, afraid to be wrong again, and afraid that the one man she's loved forever will break her heart.

Fate might take its time, but it won't wait forever.
