Orphaned by an accident, she is determined to stay in Boone Creek, near her grandmother and loved ones, after being disappointed by past relationships. Jeremy anticipates a brief stay in the rural town but becomes captivated by Lexie, drawn to her beauty and honesty. Lexie, cautious about trusting an outsider, finds herself thinking of Jeremy more than she admits.
