Description: Ever since her parents sudden death, Noli Freeman has been travelling trying to outrun her grief and avoid getting too close to anyone she may lose. She returns to Indiana to help plan her cousin's wedding and is immediately attracted to the groom's best friend Cooper Smith. Too afraid to allow herself to love him, she leaves town soon after her bridesmaid duties are done. Cooper hasn't believed in love since his father abandoned him and left his mother a heartbroken shadow of herself. He vows never to fall in love and keeps all his ties to women loose. That is until he meets Noli. He thinks that she'll be another temporary fling but breaks his vow and is rewarded with a broken heart when she leaves as suddenly as his dad did all those years before. As hard as Noli tries, it's impossible to block the memories of Cooper out of her mind or her heart, especially when there's a permanent reminder of him growing inside her. Can they get beyond their pasts and realize they've found someone to love?
