Wylde Sutton is your typical twenty-year-old. He likes to hang out with his friends, party and hit on girls. Life was working out just the way he planned until his mother cut him off without warning. Now, he's a college drop-out working two jobs with little time for sleep much less romance.
Dallas Carter grew up in a small town in South Carolina and always dreamed of going to college. She spent much of her childhood raising her three younger siblings while her single mother worked multiple jobs to make ends meet. Dallas knew a full ride was the only way she'd ever go to college.
Wylde and Dallas are neighbors with little in common. He sees a stuck-up girl who's too good for their parties and would rather study than have fun. Dallas sees a jerk who thinks getting drunk and laid is the key to happiness.

The road to love isn't always easy even when our heartbeats are connected. Will the path lead Dallas and Wylde to each other or will the journey through family problems, broken promises and an unexpected tragedy be too difficult?
