Mariners Island is barely ten miles long, but when Ivy, Ariana and Cam were teenagers, it was their whole world. Beyond the pristine beaches and iconic lighthouse lies the beautiful old library that belongs to Ivy's family.

Now, twenty years later, Ariana returns to Mariners just as new evidence emerges on the case, calling into question everything the three friends thought they knew--and everyone they thought they could trust. What really happened that night? Over the course of one eventful summer, Ariana, Ivy and Cam will learn the truth--about their pasts, their futures and the ties that still bind them as closely as the pages of a book...

När nyhetsankaret Emery Bliss gör slut med sin pojkvän hämnas han på värsta tänkbara sätt. Med livet - och självkänslan - i spillror lämnar hon allt och flyr till tryggheten och anonymiteten i Silver Springs. Det hon minst av allt önskar sig nu är en ny relation, men när hon stöter ihop med Dallas Turner, en bekant från tonårstiden, ser hon något hos honom som många andra har missat. Bergsklättraren Dallas är inte det minsta bekväm med att vara tillbaka i hemstaden över julen. Han föredrar att vara ensam, på väg uppför en brant klippvägg, framför att behöva hantera andra människor. Men mötet med Emery får honom för första gången att vilja kämpa för att bli fri från det förflutnas demoner. Båda har siktet inställt på en lugn och ensam jul, men kanske är gnistorna mellan dem så starka att lågorna kan brinna för alltid?

Spend the holidays in Silver Springs, where the greatest gift of all is the love you never expected. Up-and-coming TV anchor Emery Bliss can't imagine anything more humiliating than the sex tape her ex revenge-posted online. That is, until it causes her to lose her job on top of her self-esteem. Seeking solace--and anonymity--in Silver Springs, Emery isn't looking to get involved with another man any time soon. But when she's thrown back into contact with Dallas Turner, she sees something that his many detractors have missed. Being home for the holidays and his adoptive mother's wedding isn't where mountain climber Dallas feels most comfortable. Thanks to his troubled childhood, he'd rather be on a rock face alone than trying to connect with people. Emery, however, makes him want to overcome his past ... somehow. Both Emery and Dallas had been planning on a quiet, solitary Christmas, but the sparks between them are lighting a fire strong enough to last--possibly forever.
