Three years ago, Allison Williams lost her best friend in a tragic boating “accident”, and she hasn’t been back to the lake since. But when she finishes her freshman year of college and her summer plans fall through, she has nowhere else to go.
Forced to face the lake and all the painful memories it holds, Allison vows to avoid one family at all cost - the Pentwaters. Not only was Graham Pentwater her first crush, he was on that boat and his brother, Prescott, was driving. Their rich father made sure it was ruled an accident, and Prescott faced no consequences. She still hasn’t forgiven them.
But Bridle Lake is a small community, and it isn’t long before she bumps into Graham. Though she spirals after their first run-in, he proves that he’s different from his family. Each encounter with him restores a piece of her former self, allowing her to gradually begin healing.
Soon she’s unable to resist the magnetic pull between them, though a future with him is more than complicated. Love is a strong force, but it may not be enough to keep them together, especially when Graham’s powerful family wants to keep them apart.
