Sam Brandis became Tate Jones' first boyfriend. First love. First everyone. Including heartbreak for the first time. During a two-week vacation abroad, Sam and Tate fall in love with each other, and as first loves do, they share all their hopes, dreams and deepest secrets. Sam was the first and only person to whom Tate, the long-lost daughter of a world-famous actor, revealed her identity. And when it became clear that she trusted him in vain, Tate’s world shattered... Fourteen years later, Tate became an actress and only occasionally remembers her first love. When she arrives to shoot her first major film, Sam is the last person Tate expects to see there. But Sam is there, as charming and confident as she knew him, but even more alluring than Tate remembered. Faced with the one who betrayed her, Tate must decide whether she could have done wrong for a good reason... and whether "once in a lifetime" can happen twice.
