Can they have a future if she’s not willing to talk about the past?
J.R. Bentley returns home to Cooper Springs after a ten-year absence to help renovate his mother’s house so it can be sold and she can move into a retirement home. Coming home means confronting the confusion from senior year, including why Julianna Brown, his best friend-turned-girlfriend, dumped him right after their high school graduation.

As Julianna deals with shattered expectations at work, she finds unexpected sparks with J.R. fun, but dangerous. Dangerous that her old feelings for J.R. are reigniting, grown-up girl size. J.R. wants answers about senior year, but Julianna locked them up and threw away the key.

While tackling liars, misunderstandings, and unexpected disasters, J.R. and Julianna’s attraction lights up, but if Julianna shares her secret, will the love they’ve resurrected explode like fireworks or explode like a bomb?
