Moving to San Diego was supposed to be a fresh start for Melanie. 3 years of sun and sand and she would be heading to college. No matter how far she went her nights were still tormented by his face. But her days were filled with another type of torment Josh! The eager young lacrosse player who wanted nothing more than to claim her heart as his.

Sadly there are just some things in life that you can not run away from. They always find you in the end. Will they find each other? Will Josh be able to save Melanie from her past as well as herself?

The storm clouds break above them, lightning illuminates the sky. A kiss. Who knew one kiss could hold so much weight, could change a life so much. Josh’s words play over and over in her mind, the sensation of his lips upon her. New feelings, new sensations rock her. Warm feelings engulf her. As she dances in a sea of new beginnings. He hides in the shadows as his prize is taken from him. His burning eyes follow her. Things haven’t gone according to plan, but he will bide his time. An unknown figure will help him achieve his goal. This time he will not fail, this time she will be his. Josh’s body shields her from the unknown. Holding onto her for dear life as she slips away into her nightmares. Nightmares that have become reality. Familiar faces, show themselves as strangers. She wants him, he wants her but can they move on and make a life. Can he be honest with her? Can she bear her soul to him?
