Today is the first day of Quinton Carter's new life. The toxic guilt of his past tore him apart, but one girl suddenly put everything back together. Thanks to Nova Reed, Quinton can finally see the world with clear eyes. She is the reason his heart still beats behind the jagged scar on his chest. And he wishes he could hold her in his arms every minute... but he's not ready yet. Playing drums in a band and living with her best friends are just some of the highlights of Nova's true self. Is it worth changing anything? Talking to Quinton on the phone every night, she wishes she could touch him, kiss him, even though she knows he needs time to heal. But shocking news is on the way - a reminder of the dark side of life - and Nova needs Quinton like he once needed her. Is he strong enough to make the final leap from his broken past... straight to Nova's heart?
