Every once in a while, he would take a break from talking and crane down his neck to kiss my forehead, my nose, my cheek, my lips, my neck, whatever he could reach. He stroked my tangled hair like he was trying to count the strands. It was euphoric. And for those sixty minutes, we didn't talk about the mistake we'd just made.

Ginger McWhen doesn't think her summer can get any worse - spending her whole break in the Hampton's with her parents is definitely not the ideal way to spend the summer before her senior year. However, things are just starting to heat up for Ginger when her estranged sister decides to tag along with her new boyfriend, Sam.

As summer progresses, Gingers attraction to Sam only grows, as well as her issues with her long term boyfriend and rivalry with her sister. Will she be able to ignore the budding friendship between herself and Sam? Will she burn bridges to get what she wants?

She only knows one thing for sure -- those little gray lines are only getting grayer as the weather gets hotter.
