Ruin Me

When Emily Martin was a freshman in high school, a popular senior slammed into her as she carried her books to class. She yelled at him to watch where he was going. After that, she couldn't get rid of him. Over the next few months, despite her venom, they grew to be close friends and started dating. Grant becomes her first and greatest love. Then, without a word, when they return from winter break, he ghosts her and starts to date someone else, breaking her heart.

Sixteen years later, after leaving for college and never coming back to Cherry Grove, Grant Thompson finally returns home to visit his mother. While in his hometown, he decides to stay, open a new business, and put down some roots after bouncing around for so long. When the first day of training arrives, Emily is sitting among the group of new employees. Upon seeing her, he knows he's going to do everything he can to win her back. He'll ruin his entire life if he has to.

Has time softened the blow Emily felt back then? When Grant tells her what actually happened, will she believe him? Or will the very thing that ripped them apart back then end things before they can get their second chance?
