Sophie Campbell is a seventeen year old senior at Jackson High that also holds down a part-time job at the local coffee shop. The way Sophie sees it, there's no need for her to have a boyfriend in high school. All the boys are immature and she's lasted without love for 17 years so far... why not wait one more? However, when the mysterious loner at her school comes into her work on New Year's Eve, something between them clicks. Between crazy friends, a motorcycle and an English assignment, will they be content with just a friendship or will they realize that they might be perfect for each other as more?

After a conversation sparks between them, an old friendship is reborn. Only for them to realise, their chemistry would turn into something much more. Having to hide their relationship within secrets and lies around their families, Blake and Emily battle through the summer sneaking around trying to keep their fire alight. But when Blake's mom sees the couple late at night, and when Emily's parents want to meet her new boyfriend, their lies unravel one thread at a time. They promise their love will last an eternity but Emily doesn't want a Romeo and Juliet ending, because no matter what happens, in the end, their love must survive- as well as their lives.
