A first love. A wrongful conviction. Two hearts will never be the sameβ¦
When Emma Ranstein and Corbin Jones meet in high school, itβs love at first sight. Their hearts are forever sealed together in what seems to be a fairytale romance. As they explore first kisses and the innocence of young love, however, their romance is quickly put to the test.
A twisted string of events leads the couple down a dark path. Corbin is convicted of murder and faces years in prison for a crime he didnβt commit. The couple finds their young lives and relationship turned upside down. When hope fades, Emma has to make the difficult choice to walk away and move on with her life, just like Corbin wants for her.
However, decades later, when Corbin is proven innocent, both are left reflecting on the power of a relationship neither has gotten over. As they face new possibilities and struggle with the distance time has placed between them, they must ask the question: Does the passion of a first love really fade with time?
A coming-of-age story about the power of first love perfect for fans of sweet romance and young adult fiction.
