Chapter 1

Crystal grew up in Monaco, right down the street from Charles and his family. When her mother died from an unexpected illness when she was 15, her father moved her to America to hide from their grief. Now she's back home again, ten years later, with her son and a longing for the life she used to live. But things change with time, and people are never the same. The life she dreamed of having back home seems farfetched now that she's back, and the boy she loved growing up is now a man with a life of his own. Will she go back to America with her father, or will she find the find the love she always dreamed of back in her hometown?
