As a young girl, Tabitha Carson barely knew how the outside world functioned. Home-schooled and separated from the rest of the town, she was confined to her father's mansion in the woods and only allowed to associate with her father's business partner and his son, whose house resided a few acres away. Only after her father's murder does Tabitha venture across the country to live with her Aunt Josie in Maine, leaving her past behind. Eleven years later, Tabitha's past resurfaces, bringing back bad memories, midnight lies, and a green-eyed, curly-haired troublemaker.
