Carter's life was perfect; supportive parents, genuine friends, and a loving community. But her perfect life is stripped away when her parents are killed in a car accident. Her only guardian: her dog-loving aunt, who lives hours away from her home. She must leave her life and move to a town called Willow's Creek, where she meets Elliot Maslow.
He is much different than the other people living there. He is cold and rude but hides much behind his blue eyes which happen to save Carter more than once. Carter must learn to heal and move on, escaping the consequences of the accident, and Elliott can't seem to open up to anyone. But the two are more alike than they think.
