A teenage romance must conquer time and distance to prevail. 11 years ago, he fell for his dream girl — a girl he could never have……shouldn’t have desired in the first place.

Jameson and Hayley live in different worlds. While he calls the backwoods of Montana his home, she roams the halls of an elite boarding school.

But the socially reserved girl isn’t like the other entitled brats at his family’s camp. She has secrets, and Jameson finds himself intrigued once he gets a glimpse behind the careful façade she has erected.

Three summers they share with stolen glances, feeding the spark of a teenage romance that can never be more. As they are doomed for tragedy, forbidden touch only stokes the flames of their unrealized cravings.

Jameson’s whole world shatters around him when their last night together comes to an abrupt end. With no one able to catch his fall, his broken heart steers him down a violent and self-destructive path.

After time and distance have kept them apart for nearly a decade, he believes fate has granted them a second chance when Hayley returns to Montana out of the blue. Their rekindled fire burns hotter than ever, but nothing has changed.

She comes and goes, unpredictable as the breeze, and he knows she is hiding something. Only this time, she is not the only one with secrets, and when they come out, he is going to wish she never returned at all.
