When Emily catches sight of Gennifer Hall at a party, she is transported back to the moment they fell in love as teenagers. Their connection was electric, and they thought it was forever. Now Gen is an Olympic runner, the career she strived for, while Emily is living a picture-perfect life with her two young children and wealthy husband, Jack. But Jack's controlling behaviour is spiralling, and Emily has lost sight of who she once was. Despite everything keeping them apart, Emily and Gen still feel that magnetic attraction. After years of heartbreak, missed chances and misunderstandings, will they -nally get a second chance at -rst love?
