West Wood House

On summer break from college, Lex Damerou is frustrated about her future and left alone when her boyfriend heads overseas for an exciting new career. Instead of entering the world of paychecks and 9 to 5 jobs, she escapes for the summer to the secluded New England estate of her boyfriends old friend, Simon Baxter.
Reclusive Simon is terminally ill and literally laying around waiting to die, when Lex arrives and breaths fresh air into the molding old mansion and Simon's dull life. Simon is determined to not let Lex's good humor seep into his otherwise bleak outlook on life, but every day he finds himself more drawn to her, while he also struggles with the acceptance of his impending death.
Meanwhile Lex is battling her strange interest in the immature and sheltered Simon and her growing attachment for the old mansion that seems to have secrets and a personality of its own. Dodging books that seem to have a mind of their own and Simon's frequent mood swings, Lex's annoyance of the situation quickly turns into something else altogether and more precious then should could ever have expected.
