When your high school sweetheart becomes rich and famous and you think they're gone forever, how do you tell them that you're still in love with them? They were high school sweethearts that had an on-again/off-again relationship for years but always came back to each other. Darian and Belle loved each other unconditionally but sometimes that just wasn't enough to keep two people together. Darian had an opportunity to follow his dreams so he took it, knowing he and Belle broke up for the last time. The one person Belle thought she could count on disappears from her life to become rich and famous, leaving her with a secret and ultimately a broken heart. When the two come together several years later for the funeral of a loved one they realize life would never be the same again. Has their love for each other lasted through fame, riches, and several years apart?

Maggie Varnum: Like that it was fast paced and suspenseful...loved the romance up ended a little to fast ...would have been better if there was a Luna ceremony chapter and a birth of son with name chapter with Cole as a dramatic dad in the delivery scene .... Overall I enjoyed it very much!
