They're everything the other is not... but can't stop thinking about
Jordan Quinn has never been one to play by the rules. With her electric blue hair, unapologetic confidence, and a string of boys left wondering what hit them, she's built a life of freedom and defiance. Jordan doesn't believe in love. She's seen too many girls lose themselves for it, and she's not about to let anyone tie her down.
Jaxon Carter, on the other hand, has spent his whole life chasing the perfect version of it. Loyal to his high school sweetheart and admired by everyone, Jaxon is the golden boy with the golden future. But beneath the perfect image lies a deep fear of betrayal, shaped by the cracks in his own family.
They live in the same small town, walk the same school hallways, and yet, they've never truly crossed paths. Until one night changes everything.
Neither of them is looking for more, but sometimes the heart doesn't play by the rules.
As their worlds begin to blur, one question haunts them both: What if?
"And it took me a while to realize it, but everything I've had to go through in this life, all the pain and sadness I've had to bear . . . well, its led me straight to you."

After tragedy strikes Morgan Scott's family, she finds her life changing drastically again and again throughout many failed attempts of starting over. It doesn't seem to matter where Morgan ends up, the secrets and pain of her past continue to haunt her, reminding her that "starting over" isn't nearly as easy as it sounds.
Ending up in her father's hometown a few months after the day her life changed forever, Morgan finds her life changing once again, and she only hopes that this time will be for the better. It isn't until after a run-in with the town's golden boy, Jack Crawford, that Morgan realizes no amount of starting over will take away the memories of the past.
What Morgan doesn't know is that Jack has a secret of his own that's eerily similar to hers. And what neither of the two know is that their secrets will unintentionally bring them together, reminding the duo that they aren't as alone as they often feel.
