Summary from
Goodreads:
Sometimes
the only thing standing between fear and hope is yourself.
Almost
a year ago, nineteen-year-old Cassie Harlen had a lot to deal with. A stack of
college acceptance letters waiting for answers, a proposal from the boy next
door, and a mother whose most recent bipolar episode left Cassie hurt and
confused. Tired of cleaning up the messes caused by her mother's disorder, of
resenting her mother for not being there, and scared of being trapped by an
inevitable future—which included marrying Graham Tucker—Cassie did the only
thing she could think of to keep from ending up like her mother: she left.
Graham
never knew why Cassie walked away. He woke up one morning and she was
gone—along with the life that he’d created around her. After eleven months,
Graham has a new plan for his future. One that doesn't involve Cassie Harlen.
When
Cassie's mom nearly burns down her house, Cassie’s forced to return home. Back
to a mother she’s tried to ignore and the guy she’s been unable to forget. Graham
doesn't know how he's going to spend the whole summer living next door to the
person who broke his heart without letting those old feelings push through to
the surface.
Neither
does Cassie.

Excerpts:
1) Cassie
He led me through the door beside the
back of the stage and the guys yelled something. Rohan flipped them off, and
then I was surrounded by darkness. It was so dark I couldn't tell if my eyes
were opened or shut. Warmth spread across my neck as Rohan said in my ear,
"This is the moment, Cassie."
His heart raced against my back, and the
feeling of him so close to me made my breath hitch. Between his hands around my
waist and his breath on my neck, my body melded into his. My heart pounded too,
trying to keep up with his, anxious from this surprise and from his fingers on
my skin. Every part of me responded to Rohan when he touched me, from my head
to my stomach to my toes. It was a feeling I still wasn’t used to.
With Graham it was different. With
Graham, my whole being responded. Just by a look across a room or a word. And
God, a touch was like fire exploding all over my skin. I didn’t have that with
Rohan. What Rohan and I had was only physical, what Graham and I had was
everything—multiplied by a hundred, plus soaring.
Thinking about what I left hurt. If I
had stayed, maybe we’d be married right now, going to school together and I’d
be really seen, really known. But I hadn't stayed.
About the AuthorDanielle Ellison spent most of her childhood reading instead of learning math. It's probably the reason she can't divide without a calculator and has spent her life seeking the next adventure. It's also probably the reason she's had so many different zip codes and jobs.
When she’s not
writing, Danielle is probably eating cookies, fighting her nomadic urges,
watching too much TV, or dreaming of the day when she can be British. She has
settled in Northern Virginia, for now, but you can always find her on twitter
@DanielleEWrites.
