Albert Camus, the famous French-Algerian Nobel Prize winning author, journalist, and philosopher once said, “Should I kill myself, or have a cup of coffee?” I wondered how the father of absurdism and some seventeen year old boy with a lip ring could think so much alike.
It wasn't like I asked to be thrown into Talon Blake's messy, reclusive life. He was content on his boat, with a beer and his thoughts; I would have much rather spent my time trying to explain to my father I needed to get out of our small town or risk being a waitress at our family diner forever.
And then Max shows up, and ruins everything, catapults me straight into infatuation with his loner cousin who didn't get close to people.
I didn't realize Talon Blake kept people at an arm's length away, for good reason, until it was too late.
***
Lindley Harper had lived in Longhorn all her life. It was nothing but a small tourist town that only lit up in the summer; it had absolutely nothing to offer her. That is, until she meets Talon.
She wants to say their magnetism is inexplicable and meaningless.
She wants to say the town she grew up in is the same as it has always been.
She wants to say the summer will eventually be woven into every other.
Unfortunately for her, she is very wrong.
