Olivia 'Liv' Lawless was ready for the future. The big city had lost its novelty and the bright lights had become little more than a nuisance. It was time to finally make use of her degree - to plant some roots. She moved back to the house she inherited from her grandma, back in small-town Maine. That fated summer would be full of changes, it turns out. Out of her two sisters, she'd lose one. Her parents split up, and the sister she had left would be coming to live with her in August.
One night in late July, she drank her emotions down in a whiskey swill. In the humid heat, she met a perfect stranger with blue eyes and light brown hair. She never got his name - or maybe she didn't remember it by the morning, but what did it matter? After all, she didn't need to name of a memory. He was the past.
Unfortunately, the past worked at the same private school as her.
