Taylor Elena Harris is on the brink of adulthood, chasing a life promised under Californian skies; sun-drenched memories, and a love worth believing in. Then she meets Matthew James Henderson - the mysterious, smooth-talking heartbreaker with a smile that flirts with the universe, an original heartthrob with a past that raises questions... yet through rare glimpses she sees the true artistry behind the face he paints for the world to see.
He's tall, tanned, and carved like a dream, and when he looks at her, it's as if he is sketching her soul. He says he is changing - for her.
Taylor wants to surrender to the heat of summer and the thrill of first love, leaving the drama behind. But in Big Bear Lake, where parties are coloured by champagne, the games of our youth, and the setting sun behind the palm trees. The secrets lurk beneath the luxury.
As rumours swirl and hidden truths come to light, Taylor must confront the one question she never wanted to ask: Will Matthew become the love that defines her... or the lesson that breaks her?
In a summer of secrets and dares, love was the hardest truth to hold...
