Cheyenne Hamilton aka Pretty Girl/Birdie is an eighteen year old girl spending her last summer at home before heading off to college to start her freshman year at Berkeley in California. Cheyenne grew up in a small town in Georgia called Shiloh Grove. Since her father passed away when she was little, she has kind of lived a sad, lonely life. Her father was everything to her, and the person in her life that always made her feel loved. Her mother is a self centered woman who really only cares about her own happiness.Cheyenne is counting down the days till she can leave town, and get away from her mother, until one day while at the lake she runs into a gorgeous college boy named Sawyer Callahan aka City Boy. Cheyenne really enjoys Sawyer's company, and they start to meet evenings back at the dock. They spend all their time together, and begin to fall for each other. For the first time in forever Cheyenne feels truly loved and happy.Sawyer is a twenty year old guy that attends Auburn University. His grades were falling, so his dad sends him to stay with his uncle Wyatt for the summer. His dad feels it will do him some good to work on the farm, and learn some responsibility. Sawyer lost his mother when he was young, and also feels somewhat alone as Cheyenne does.By the end of their summer romance they are both head over heels in love, and have something really special. Suddenly their relationship becomes complicated, and Cheyenne breaks both their hearts when she takes off for school early. She feels she is doing the right thing, and what is best for both of them.They don't see each other for the next six years, and then their paths collide. Cheyenne never thought she'd see the boy again who captured her heart that summer. She tried to forget him, but was miserable without him. After all these years they were never able to get over each other. They've both dated others, and know what they had together can never be duplicated. They realize they still own each others hearts, and want to be together. They really share something beautiful, and after all this time are still each others home.Again Tessa Teevan has written another fantastic book! Her writing is perfection! She has quickly become one of my favorite authors, and I can't wait to read more from her! This was a beautiful story of second chance love. The guy was extremely hot & sexy, but also swoon worthy sweet. Just a great guy! Thought the book was fabulous, and I can't wait for Bryan & Cori's story!!! :D
