I wanted to tell him all my secrets, but he became one of them instead. Chloe Rivers never thought she would keep secrets from her best friend. Then again, she never imagined she would fall in love with him either.

Four years after a devastating tragedy, Chloe and Gavin find themselves crashing back into each other's lives.

Except they can't seem to get near each other without combatting an intense emotional connection that brings them right back to where it all started . . . their childhood treehouse. Chloe still holds her secrets close, but this time she isn't the only one with something to hide. Can their deep-rooted connection survive the destruction of innocence?
