They were always supposed to cross the finish line together... until life sent them in opposite directions.In high school, Avery Cole and Nicholas Hartley had everything mapped out: she'd escape their small town with a business degree and a corner office, he'd chase his NASCAR dreams, and somehow they'd make the distance work.Instead, he left for a career opportunity of a lifetime.
