The last time I saw Nevada Kane, I was seventeen and he was loading his things into the back of his truck, about to embark on a fourteen-hour drive to the only college that offered him a full ride to play basketball.
I told him I’d wait for him. He promised to do the same.
But life happened. I broke my promise long before he ever broke his. And not because I wanted to.
We never saw each other again …
Until ten years later when Nevada unexpectedly returned to our hometown after an abrupt retirement from his professional basketball career.
Suddenly he was everywhere, always staring through me with that brooding gaze, never returning my smiles or “hellos.”
Over the years, I’d heard that he’d changed. And that despite his multi-million dollar contracts and rampant success, life hadn’t been so kind to him.
He was a widower.
And a single father.
And rumor had it, he’d spent his last ten years trying to forget me, refusing to so much as breathe my name … hating me.
But just like a rebound, he’s back.
And I have to believe everything happens for a reason.

****MY REVIEW**
Winter Renshaw has written a beautiful yet at times heartbreaking story about young love ,broken promises.. of huge life changing decisions and lives that fell apart. This is such a tale and make sure to get the tissues at the ready.
This book starts off in the past and we get a glimpse at young love Yardley Devereaux & Nevada Kane . This is them 10 years ago when life was good for them and they were madly in love. This is when she had found her happy ever after with Nevada Kane but circumstances suddenly changed and she broke her promise to him and now because of this, he will never forgive her.
Fast forward to the present 10 years later, Nevada Kane has returned to the scene of the crime so to speak- the town where he left his true love and ended everything with her 10 years before. He didn’t want to come home but with his wife’s sudden death and having two children to raise, its time he came home to be near his mother. But Nevada as well as the readers know he could run into Yardley at any time… Yardley has pined for her true love, her lost love for 10 long years. She would do anything for a 2nd chance with Nevada but will he ever let her explain what truly happened or is Nevada still blinded by the past to let her explain ? You can truly feel the pain she is in as she attempts over and over to explain , and how much pain she is in and has been in over a choice she made. I felt Nevada was a jerk at times but I get why he was. This was such an emotionally touching story, one that showed such range by Winter on human emotions , of true love and of jealously. Of what human emotions can push us into doing. There are many twists in this story that take Nevada and Yardley’s love thru a journey. Will they finally get their HEA? This is one story that you must read, that you do not want to miss!!!!
My Rating: 4.8 stars *****
