Lizzie Swenson felt like she had it all at the young age of eighteen; the perfect relationship, the perfect life, and the perfect plan. That is until her boyfriend Ryan Dilemma, turns her world upside down with one selfish decision. Ryan leaves for the state of California on a basketball scholarship without a warning, leaving her lost, confused, and worst of all, alone. Now, five years later still living in Florida, Lizzie's life finally seemed to be coming together. With the opening day of her new boutique just around the corner and a wonderful relationship to concentrate on, there was nothing in the world that could possibly disrupt her plans for the future, so she thought. Ryan had everything he had ever dreamed of; a scholarship to play college ball, popularity, and being one step closer to having a career in basketball. So why did he still suffer from the pain of emptiness five years after leaving Lizzie? There was only one reason for it and it was love. Coming back to Florida was a long thought out decision for Ryan, but now here he was. The only thing on his mind was Lizzie and he would stop at nothing to wedge himself back into her life one more time. Stirring up old feelings was something Ryan had down pat and Lizzie was suffering with confusion because of it. Would Ryan ever be able to gain Lizzie's forgiveness? Would Lizzie be able to keep control over her feelings for Ryan, or would she give into his dark green eyes one more time?
