Sparks are flying between Jecca Layton and Dr. Tristan Aldredge.

For years, Kimβs cousin Trisβthe townβs handsome and dedicated doctorβfelt a deep connection to Kimβs college βsisterβ Jecca, though they had met only once before; now, Jecca is swept off her feet by this strong, sensitive man in a summer of sensual delights. But when long shadows announce Jeccaβs return to βreal lifeβ and the big city, the lovers must decide: Can they survive the distance? And who will sacrifice the life theyβve created for themselves to be together?
