Deeper than the physical.

Kennedy Donovan and Dreux Edwards secretly yearned for each other since high school, but neither of them was ready to take the leap from friendship into something more.

Until one summer night in college changed everything. And they cut ties with each other.

When fate brings them back together years later, the feelings they thought had faded came rushing back to the surface. Despite Kennedy being married to her college sweetheart and Dreux navigating a budding relationship of his own, nothing can extinguish the fire that sparked between them long ago.

But when the timing has always been wrong, will Kennedy and Dreux finally take the risk? Or will they let history repeat itself, letting each other go for good?
