Riya's moved more times than she can count on two hands. Her brilliant scientist mother follows the grants, but she promises Riya a solid two year stint in Rothsdale, long enough for Riya to finish high school and possibly make a few true friends.
She never expected to meet someone like Adam. Someone who makes her heart sing and fills her stomach with butterflies. The two feel a near instant connection in the sun soaked woods, but Adam has a secret, a painful one he's carried alone for so long. Cruelly revealed by the same peers who scorn him, Riya makes a decision to accept Adam for who he is.
Together, they find sanctuary in the mysterious wood, and love in each other. Adam's greatest wish is to walk down the street holding hands without the jeers and judgment. Riya's greatest wish is to provoke that heart stopping smile and help Adam love himself again.
When the actions of a bully escalate to life threatening proportions, will Riya lose the one she loves, or will the magic of the wood save them both.
