Wren has always lived in her best friend Ally's shadow. While Ally attracts the cutest boys and lands modeling gigs, Wren finds contentment working with horses on her family's farm. She avoids the petty jealousies that swirl around other girls at school. Everything changes when Tim, the most fascinating boy in their class, begins spending time with both friends. Ally falls hard for him, but Tim gravitates toward Wren instead. His unexpected preference creates a jealousy Wren never anticipated. Tim's attention arrives just as Wren's stable home life begins to crumble. She relies on his steady presence and gentlemanly nature to anchor her. But Tim's own perfect world starts falling apart. When he confides his deepest secret to Wren, she must choose how far she will go to protect someone she cares about. The decision forces Wren to examine what love truly means and what sacrifices it demands.
