A mistake. A blessing. A tragedy. And now, Mandi Evans has made it her goal to fade into anonymity. Once a straight-A student with her choice of colleges, she's withdrawn into a life that consists of two jobs, an online class, and memories. Crippled by the past, she feels unworthy of a better life - until Lane Whitmore walks into the diner where she works six nights a week. An urban planner, Lane is looking to revitalize the rundown part of town where Mandi's hidden herself away. He can't help but notice this diamond in the rough as well, and what starts as simple good times grows to . . . something more. With Lane, Mandi feels alive again, and she makes a bold decision - one that could chart her course on a path to redemption. But will keeping her plan a secret from Lane turn out to be the biggest mistake of all?
