Charisma Lamar was a small town girl from the heart of North Carolina. But she had fled her home as fast as she could because her childhood had been marred by the heinous acts of her father and the drunken driving accident her mother had been in killing herself and Charisma's little sister.
There had been one family in the whole town that she loved and that loved her and it had been her best friend Erin Marrow's family.
Char had always had a crush on Gabriel Marrow until the night she finally decided to tell him and had been humiliated.
Char walked away from her home town, never to look back again.
Gabriel Marrow was the oldest son of one of North Carolina's wealthiest families. He was a man of honor and strength. Gabe had always strived to make his family happy and do the right thing. Which had not always served him well in two crucial moments of his life. Once when his sister's best friend Charisma had told him she had the same feelings for him that he had for her and two when he had married his ex-wife.
Now Charisma was back in town, as the wedding planner and made- of- honor for her best friend's wedding. She had been dreading this day for long as she could remember but had vowed to show the people of this town including Gabe she was not the mall town girl they once knew.
All Gabe wants is his Charisma to come home. Can Gabe and Char discover their love anew or will Char forever be The One That Got Away?
