Willow Qiu, a young girl still figuring out her sexuality, is sent to an elite dance camp a few hours' drive away from home, despite her secret wishes not to pursue dance professionally and to leave her home and friends behind. Even before it starts, she is counting down the days until she can return to the comfort and safety of her familiar Vermont hometown. But when she gets there, she meets Lia Casper, an accomplished dancer and the most self-confident person she's ever met. Under the light of the moon on the nights they sneak out and get time on their own, they become something more than friends. However, before the waxing of the fourth lunar cycle begins, Willow will return to her traditional and conservative family in Vermont, and Lia to her equally conservative family in Texas. The clock is ticking, and they're quickly running out of time.

I notice how his lip curls up at the edge when he sees me. A soft breeze blows his scent across the room, and I can't think. Roses and salty ocean waves fill my nostrils. Add sunlight to the mix- which shouldn't have a smell but Luna, he smells like it- and I'm pretty sure if I could open my mouth, I'd be drooling. 'Mate.' My wolf whispers, giddy. I scramble back up the stairs. ____________________ Opening up when something terrible happens is hard. Near impossible.
