Beckett Vale is a wealthy, carefree student who never takes anything seriously—until he's forced to sit beside Soren Reed, a brilliant scholarship student who wants nothing to do with him. What begins as constant teasing slowly turns into something neither of them can ignore. Beckett starts showing up at Soren's part-time job, riding the bus with him, bringing him lunch, and finding every excuse to stay by his side. Soren eventually lets his guard down, and the two begin a secret relationship.
But their different worlds collide when Beckett's father threatens Soren's scholarship and future. Determined to protect Soren, Beckett makes a choice for him—and loses him in the process. After graduation, they go their separate ways.
Seven years later, Soren is a lawyer working on a case involving the very scholarship system that once threatened his future. Then Beckett walks back into his life with a camera, years of hidden evidence, and a truth he never stopped carrying: he never stopped loving Soren.
