The best plan is no match for kismet.

Desiree Hatson’s crush on Taven Carlisle had been instantaneous, starting when they were just teenagers. But when their families later became sworn enemies, Desiree and Taven were forbidden from ever seeing each other.

While Taven struggled to deny his pull toward Desiree, his own demons and loyalty to his family meant walking away and breaking her heart.

Desiree, unaware of the deception behind the scenes, never understood what tore their families apart all those years ago. She tells herself she doesn’t care, the past is in the past. But Taven’s sudden reappearance in her life reminds her that she needs to know why they could never be together. Within the shredded fabrics of truth, perhaps young crushes can courageously progress to the final phase - true love.
