Overcoming

Sometimes all you can do is let go.

It's been over a year since that tragic night. Abby and Matt have mostly moved on… and moved out of Texas?

They just arrived at Strix University in Asherby, Iowa. It's the college of their dreams, and they're both excited to begin a new chapter together. But with a new chapter comes new issues. Things spiral fast as they adjust to all that college offers: parties, new friends, new enemies and old ones.

Work is a welcome distraction when Abby becomes a barista at Jiving Java near school, and Matt takes a bartending position at Bick's. Unfortunately, Abby has to deal with not only a guy named Blake flirting with her at work, but also all the unwelcome attention Matt's been getting at the bar.

Limits are tested. Lines are drawn. Both of them must overcome everything and everyone threatening to tear them apart.

Just as things settle, and Sacrifice for my Dearest has come to town, Blake and his bandmate's arrive seeking revenge against Matt. On a chilly February night, their lives are put at risk. Abby is left helpless as she realizes once again that one moment can change everything.
