Skye Monroe has spent two years trying not to wonder where Boston Rawlings went after he vanished without a warning or a goodbye.
A boyfriend from the right kind of family and a future already mapped out are waiting for her, and she has nearly persuaded herself that this is the life she wants.
Boston was the boy next door who grew up at her side, close enough to touch yet kept apart by the distance between her gilded world and his own.
He comes back harder and quieter, still unwilling to want what he cannot have, and still impossible for her to ignore.
He left to protect what he loved and returns for the same reason, carrying little more than painful choices and a hope that looks dangerously like Skye.
The nearer she gets to the truth, the more clearly wanting him threatens everything she has ever been taught to claim.
