Publisher's Synopsis
It's been years since Nova Evans last saw Sam. She was too young then to understand why he had to move away - and what it had to do with the cuts and bruises he got from home and never wanted to talk about. All she knew is that they promised to find each other when they were older, something she thought was impossible thanks to her and her mum moving around constantly. Until she bumps into Sam in her new school, and realises he has clearly forgotten their childhood promise. Sam Jordan has a plan for his life: accept his college football scholarship, date his girlfriend Abigail, and - most importantly - hide how much he wants to do something, anything other than The Plan his parents and coaches have set before him. It doesn't matter if sometimes he finds himself thinking about the new girl he met in the cafeteria, a girl who reminds him of a past that hurts to remember.
