Lennon Matthews has been looking forward to the end of senior year since the first day of high school. She's sick of the stares and whispers that follow her around, of balancing staying at the top of her class with all her other responsibilities.
And she's especially over interacting with Caleb Winters. The town golden boy who refuses to ignore her existence, no matter how hard she tries to remain invisible. The star pitcher with a bright, shiny future in front of him, very different from Lennon's path after graduation.
But Caleb's life isn't as perfect as it appears. His family is fractured beneath the facade and the pressure of high expectations is constant. He had no interest in moving to the small, horse-racing-obsessed town of Landry, Kentucky, and no say in the matter either. And the one girl he's interested in stubbornly refuses to give him the time of day.
Until persistence finally seems to shift Lennon's perception of him. But one thing that doesn't change as graduation creeps closer? Her insistence that their lives are too different for anything serious or lasting between them. Caleb's professional baseball aspirations are more present than ever, and he hasn't hidden his desire to leave Landry. Between caring for the only family she has left and managing what's left of their farm, she's tied to Landry with no intention of that ever changing.
Lennon has spent years eager to see Caleb leave. She's the only reason he wants to stay. Together, they'll have to decide what they're willing to sacrifice. For themselves . . . and for each other.
