Melisa hasn't seen her father since he moved to England. She hasn't wanted to. He broke her mother’s heart and left them to pick up the pieces of their fractured lives. He’s getting married, though, and he’s insisting that she’s there for his special day. Melisa is sure that the nightmare will begin from the moment she gets on the plane. She doesn't even like flying. Things aren't quite as dark as they seem, though, when the hottest guy she’s ever seen sits down next to her with a book in his hand.

Jason has lost everything. He finally has the college to himself. There isn't anybody from his past to ruin the character he’s created for himself anymore. It’s just him. The funeral is only a few days away. He blames himself. He can hardly see through the darkness of the guilt he’s feeling. Then there’s Lisa. Lisa is the light in the darkness. Lisa is the way back to the daylight. Lisa is the girl that he’s always been looking for, and he can't believe it’s taken him so long to realize that.

Sarah has been left with nothing - not even hope. The person she trusted the most has deceived her and now she doesn’t know what to do. All she knows is what she is being forced to do. If she doesn’t get a job quickly then she’s going to lose her place at college. Robert can’t believe he’s messed things up so badly. It isn’t even his own pain that he’s bothered about. It’s the fact that he’s hurt Sarah. He knows that he has to make things right. He knows that he has to prove to her that she’s worth so much more to him than money. So he comes up with a plan....

Sarah has decided that supporting Rob is the right thing to do, even if it puts her in an awkward position. She knows that with the loss of his father, he’s going to need her when he returns home to a place that he hasn’t been in years. She’s worried, though. She’s worried about how his sisters are going to treat her after his father took such a disliking to her and told her she would never be part of the family.

Sarah went to college to learn. She went for the classes and to prove her father wrong about what women could really achieve. But all she’s managed to do so far is mess things up. Without knowing how, she’s ended up with two men after her and no idea about which one she wants to be with. The clock is ticking, and she knows that neither of them will wait forever.

All Jason wants to do is make sure Sophie is okay. He knows she’s been pushed to her breaking point, and he doesn't want her to be alone while she fixes herself. Things get complicated though when his girlfriend shows up. Jessica is jealous and possessive. It quickly becomes clear he can't have both of them in his life. He makes a choice and goes through with it, but when tragedy strikes, will he find himself on his own?

Sarah and Robert got close during their class project, but she hasn’t seen him since. She’s starting to think she’s wasting her time. That is, until she gets a phone call from him saying his father wants to meet her. Robert has never had an easy relationship with his dad, and that isn’t about to change on his father’s deathbed. In his last desperate attempt to control his son, Rob’s father sends Sarah away with the message she will never be welcome in Rob’s life. Will Rob be willing to stand for it, or will he go against his father’s dying wishes so he can be with the girl he loves?

Jason has known Sophie since preschool, although Sophie didn't even know who he was until their second year of high school. When Jason’s father leaves after having an affair, he turns to food for comfort. Sophie is quick to spot his weight gain and ensures the next few years of his life are hell. Jason has one thing to look forward to though: college. He spends all summer getting back into shape, and things finally seem to be going his way until a familiar face shows up and brings everything crashing down around him.
