Cassidy Jameson has trusted only two people in her life: her father, who died when she was six, and her best friend Tyler. When Tyler heads to Texas for college, Cassidy follows him without hesitation. Their new living arrangement includes Tyler's cousin Gage, a stunning guy with a Southern accent who makes Cassidy's heart race the moment she steps out of Tyler's Jeep. Gage feels the same magnetic pull toward the beautiful girl he's heard about for years. But Tyler has made one thing crystal clear: Cassidy is completely off limits. Despite the warning, Cassidy and Gage find themselves drawn together, fighting against the attraction that threatens to consume them both. When a crisis forces Cassidy to seek comfort in Tyler's arms, she faces an impossible choice. She must confront the painful memories that have shaped her or risk losing her one chance at happiness with Gage forever.
