They used to be sworn enemies. Now they’re falling in love.
Della Nash has a revenge wish: if she ever sees her childhood bully again, she’ll make him pay. But when they cross paths decades later, neither recognizes the other — and Della can’t help but be drawn to the chivalrous, kind-hearted, new-guy-in-town.

Seeking redemption and family connection, he moves back to Boston — and pink-haired, whip-smart Della feels like a new beginning.
