Nick and Emily Barrett grew up in the shadow of their mother’s shameful secret. And when she passes away unexpectedly, estranged brother and sister must return to their childhood home in August Lake and sort through the past. Emily begins to lose hope, but when she discovers a mysterious man living in the guesthouse, she realizes that she isn’t the only one harboring a shocking secret...

Fresh from a tour overseas, a stint on an oil rig, and a commercial fishing boat before that, Nick Barrett has been battling a case of wanderlust his entire life. When he’s given the opportunity to settle down in a permanent home, he naturally high-tails it out of town, gunning all 450 horsepower in his 1970 Chevelle in the process. On the road, he meets Leah Lane, a sexy hitchhiker who gives him a run for his money. Will the two of them find what it is that they’re looking for or run out of road in the meantime? Buckle up for a sexy ride!
