This Time Around

When Olivia Mason catches her fiancé cheating, her life gets turned upside down. With no family and no real place to call home, she heads south for a fresh start in Charleston, South Carolina.

Just as she's beginning to put her life back together, she uncovers a piece of her past that shakes up everything. Dex Porter has his own demons. A former Marine, he's haunted by the past and uses whiskey, women and fighting to drown the pain and guilt that consume him. When Olivia arrives in town, he finds himself drawn to her immediately and is surprised by his desire to get to know her. She's unlike anyone he's ever met but he knows he can't get close to her without exposing the part of himself that he keeps hidden.

However, as her world crumbles around her, Nate always seems to be close by to help her pick up the pieces. Nate Miller knows that Amy is the one girl he can never have. No matter how badly he wants her, he won't risk destroying his friendship, or the promise he made to look out for her when her brother goes overseas with the Marines. As life continues to get in the way and keep them apart, the only logical choice is to give up... but giving up is the last thing he wants to do. With so many obstacles stacked up against them, can they find a way to make it work or are they headed for a breakdown?
