Will finding out the truth lead her to true love?

Alone in the world, Tae Holmes and her mother April pretty much raised each other, but as Tae starts asking questions about the father she's never met, April, for the first time in her life, goes silent. To make matters worse, Tae is dangerously close to broke and is saved by landing a contract with an adventure company for athletes with disabilities and wounded warriors.

While her first big fundraiser event falls flat, it brings Tae face-to-face with Riggs Copeland, the former Marine she hasn't seen since their brief high-school fling. Tae is still intensely drawn to him, but likes her past burned and buried. Hence their friendship pact.

When April oddly refuses to help Tae track down her father, Riggs comes to her aid. On a hunt to unlock the past, they find themselves on a wild ride and learn a shocking truth, while also reluctantly bonding. Now Tae must decide whether she's going to choose love . . . or walk away from her own happiness.
