ONE YEAR AGO

The moment they meet, Lucy and Jamie know they’ve found someone special. Opposites attract – so their chemistry is instant. And by the time a blind date breakfast has become late-night shots in a bar, they’re both certain: this is forever.

TODAY

Until now, they’ve loved the things that make them different. Lucy’s wildness brings out Jamie’s protective side; his love for home helps her feel grounded. They never expected to agree on everything. But when something happens that rips Lucy and Jamie down the middle, the question is: will they come back stronger?

Or is this happy ever after not forever after all . . . ?
