"Amber Bryant and Tyler Hicks have been best friends since they were teenagers--trusting and depending on each other through some of the darkest periods of their young lives.

Returning home for the summer after her college graduation, Amber begins spending more time with Tyler than she has in years.

One night, fueled by alcohol and concerns about whether she's getting married too young, Amber kisses Tyler. What happens next will change them forever"--Amazon.com.
