CHAPTER ONE: Denver, Colorado

Sometimes, only a part of the legend is true.

Despite being a country girl in heart and soul, Elena Hunter lives in Denver, Colorado. But with the passing of her father, she has to return to the small town of Saint Charles and face many memories - and Asher.

He should hate her. And she should not think of him. Yet Elena knows that eventually they will see each other again and relive the past. But she left that life behind with a reason.

So she doesn't want to see Asher again because her heart might beat faster. Or it will slow down because of his rightful anger. Either way, she will be torn once again.

She could forgive herself and stay with Asher. But the haunting past will push her away from him - again.
