He's not sure he's ever been real. She's not sure she'll ever be whole again.
Beckett Davis has been many things: reliable, likeable, on track to be the most accurate kicker in professional football history, and multiple-time winner of made-up awards, like pro-athlete with the most beautiful smile.
He's also spent a lifetime shouldering responsibilities that didn't belong to him, but he doesn't like to think about that. Until a missed kick makes him one of the most hated people in the city and lands him doing damage control as a volunteer in his least favourite place: a hospital.
But it's where he meets her.
Greer Roberts deals in logic and absolutes. She spends her days performing surgery and staying behind carefully constructed boundaries that keep what's left of her safe, even though she's not sure how either of those things make her feel anymore. There is one thing she's absolutely certain of, though: she doesn't date. So it doesn't matter that a downtrodden Beckett Davis ends up in the same elevator as her, and, in a moment of weakness, she invites him to volunteer with her patients.
She might see right through him, and he might understand her in a way that no one else ever has, but they're just business acquaintances.
Until they're not. And nothing scares her more than that.
What do a dentist, who also happens to be her country's foremost expert in identifying dental records, and a disgraced professional soccer player have in common?
The answer, as it turns out, is letters, countries, and secrets.
November never loved anyone the way she loved her best friend Arna, and she's certain she herself will never be loved again after Arna dies suddenly. Her best friend didn't do anything by halves-including dying-which is how November finds herself set on a quest the likes of which would only be found in the movies that sends her careening into Ethan Barclay. Literally.
Too many warm beers and a thunderstorm later, November and Ethan are moving onto the next letter, country, and secret. Together. But not every secret should be shared, and everything November thought she knew about love, life, and friendship comes crashing down.
Charlie Winchester has been a rich girl, she's been a lost girl-and she might just have been on the path to being a found girl.
Until tragedy strikes the Winchester family. Again. Now, she's back in Chicago, living in the same house she's been avoiding for a decade.
But nothing is quite as she left it. Not the two boys who hold her heart, not her brother, and certainly not her father. Even the winding halls of her family home don't seem as desolate as they used to.
Torn between two lives, Charlie has to decide once and for all where-and what-she calls home.
The Winchesters are best known for being America's most elusive dynasty.
Charlie Winchester is a rich girl. She has always been a rich girl. But her family's baggage comes with a price, and theirs is designer.
When Charlie's mother died unexpectedly seven years earlier, her family was left fragmented beyond repair. She has spent the years since her mother's death running from the family she can't seem to mend and the legacy she wants to escape. Forced to return home to Chicago after years of trying to avoid fixing herself by helping others, Charlie attempts to carve a name for herself and her own path at Winchester Holdings: their family of generations' company.
Although she has never had much success in the dating department, unlike her brother Deacon whose life is an endless parade of dates and conquests, Charlie is surprised to find herself enamored with one of her colleagues.
That is until someone from her past she attempted to bury along with her mother appears back in her life and turns everything she has worked to create upside down.
