Meredith Markham's not hapy about spending the summer taking care of her sick aunt in Maine. The weather is miserable, she's stuck inside a spooky old beach house, and worst of all, her boyfriend, Peter, is a thousand miles away. Meredith resigns herself to daydreaming about Peter and writing to her friends back home - until she meets Nat Franklin. He seems to be everywhere, haunting her thoughts and haunting her dreams. She tries to put him out of her mind - after all, she has a wonderful boyfriend, and Nat has a girlfriend, too. But it's not easy. Will Meredith be able to stay true to Peter during her summer by the sea? There's only the ghost of a chance.
