A year ago Michelle Reilly made what she thought was going to be the best decision of her life. She moved away from everything she knew and took a new job in a new city. Turns out she was wrong.

Now all she wants to do is move back home and back to the life she left behind. But it's been a whole year, things have changed and her friends have moved on. When she runs into Alex Foster, an old flame who is miraculously still single, she begins to think everything can work out the way she wants.

But Alex has a secret too. Michelle's life is crumbling around her and the guy she's falling for is hiding something. All she wanted was to go back to normal but she's learning that unfortunately once you leave you can't go home again.
