Blurb<\/b><\/h4>\n

Emerson Lowe and popular ice-hockey player Jake McCallister have been best friends since third grade but just as their friendship starts to morph into something more, a terrible event occurs that heralds the end of innocence for both of them. Within a week, Jake\u2019s living on the other side of the country and Emerson is left alone to pick up the pieces of her life in a small town determined to paint her as a liar.<\/p>\n

Seven years on and Emerson is still living on the beautiful Pacific West island of Bainbridge, helping her family run their outdoor adventure company. The last thing she needs is Jake turning up, bringing with him old memories and opening up old wounds. But Jake\u2014even better looking than Emerson remembered and on the cusp of a bright sporting future\u2014seems determined to revive their friendship no matter how much Emerson tries to push him away and soon they\u2019re in the midst of a passionate summer romance that neither of them wants to end.<\/p>\n

But if they\u2019re to have any kind of future, they\u2019re first going to need to confront the past, a past that most people want to stay buried.<\/p>\n

Excerpt<\/strong><\/h4>\n

I hear a voice behind me.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018Need some help with that?\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

I spin around.<\/span><\/p>\n

It takes a couple of seconds for my brain to confirm that it\u2019s actually him. That it\u2019s actually Jake McCallister standing in front of me and not a hallucination. My heart does this fierce smash and rebound against my ribs as though it\u2019s been violently woken from hibernation. I draw in a breath so big it feels like my lungs might explode, as if all that air is filling a vacuum and I\u2019ll never be able to let it out again.<\/span><\/p>\n

I hate this feeling. Hate the way the adrenaline floods my blood stream and tears sting my eyes. Hate the way my body reacts in a thousand contradictory ways at the sight of him, as though someone has plugged me into a wrong socket and fried all my synapses.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have an impulse to throw myself at him but I\u2019m not sure if it\u2019s because I want to hug him or beat the living crap out of him. I drop the kayak, my hands fisting automatically at my sides.<\/span><\/p>\n

I watch the smile on his lips fade when he notices the set of my jaw. His expression had started off wary but now I see him swallow and press his lips together, something he always does when he\u2019s nervous.<\/span><\/p>\n

I take note of that and at the same time notice a dozen other tiny, insignificant, monumental details about this new old Jake. I see the faded white scar on his chin\u2014the one I gave him and the new scar cutting across his eyebrow. Then there\u2019s his height \u2013 we were always the same height but now he\u2019s tall. . . <\/span>much<\/span><\/i> taller than me. His dark brown hair is the same, though – unruly, untamed, falling in his eyes. He\u2019s looking at me with the same mix of uncertainty that he looked at me the very last time I saw him.<\/span><\/p>\n

I glance away, down at the sand. My whole body is shaking and I can\u2019t seem to get it under control.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018Em?\u2019 I hear him say.<\/span><\/p>\n

My head flies up before I can stop it. No one calls me that any more. His voice is deeper, mellower. The inflection though when he says my name is still just the same… and instantly something inside me starts coming undone. Jake always used to say my name like it belonged to him, and only him.<\/span><\/p>\n
