"What was it about Travis Tucker that set my teeth on edge and made my heartbeat trip over itself? It had been fifteen years since he left me standing on my porch in that absurd pink prom dress; peering down the street, anxiously waiting for his car, which would never appear.

Will Fenton Hills's perfect couple be able to hold it together long enough to get through the election? And what is it about this one man's presence that has everybody unraveling?
