Twenty-six-year-old Cecelia Horner drives back to Triple Falls seven years after living there with her father, Roman Horner. On the way, she reflects on the romance she had when she was there and considers why she “gave into temptation” and let her fantasies control her (1). She moved to Triple Falls when she was 19 because her mom had decided to move in with her boyfriend Timothy. Cecelia didn’t have a relationship with Roman but needed her inheritance from him to help support her mom.
Years later, Cecelia feels like a different person. She wants to believe she can have a life after what happened to her, but she isn’t sure. Driving back into town, she’s overwhelmed by memories. She spins the ring on her hand, a vestige of her recently ended relationship with Collin. She realizes she has hurt Collin the way her former lovers hurt her. She’s returning to Triple Falls so she can cure herself of her distorted ideas about love.
The novel flashes back seven years.
