With those words, Zora ended their long-distance relationship, shattering Deuce's vision of a life with the only woman he's ever loved. But after months of silence, he thought he was over it. He'd moved on, and as far as he knew she might have done the same. But now Zora is back on the East Coast from California, and he's thrown into an immediate tailspin. Nothing's changed.

She's the one, the only, his rhyme, and his reason ...

... but there are serious obstacles standing in the way, and the other woman in his life isn't even the half of it. Over a few short summer weeks, Deuce and Zora will have to decide whether the love they shared as college sweethearts is a thing of the past, or whether there is still enough of a foundation upon which to build a future together.
