All Cessie Franklin wants is to fall in love, but the deck is stacked against her. Painfully shy, painfully awkward, and painfully overweight, she is ignored by the boys at her school. She watches her friends date and find love, and she begins to doubt it will ever happen for her. That changes when she meets Mack. He is older, sweet, and sees the real her underneath the surface. The problem is that he isn't looking for forever, and he certainly isn't looking to be anyone's Prince Charming. Mack George was coasting through college when he met Cessie. She is sweet, shy, and awakened something in him that he'd never felt before. He knows he loves her, but he refuses to let her know that. He pushes her away one too many times, and they finally crash and burn. She never left his mind, even after she moved on with her life. Years later, they find themselves back in each other's lives where a whole new set of circumstances stand in their way. Is letting him back in a mistake? Will he finally push his pride aside and tell her what she means to him? Are they meant to be together forever, or for a moment in time?
