Kate Bell views Winter, her home town, as a run down, ancient place. The way she describes it makes me think of where I grew up in a way. Small town, older people stay while younger ones leave instead of keeping business in town to make it prosper. Her dad is a cop, and she is in school for criminology. She has no reason to stay and doesn't want to move back. Her family treats her as she is twelve and her dad and mom is very over bearing. Everyone knows everyone and nothing ever happens. That is until one summer when she comes home from college and a stranger arrives. 

Ben Parker is tall, handsome, and mysterious. He has a secret that only one person in the small town of Winter knows, Mrs. Merriweather. Ben has a dark past and doesn't want to be defined from it. Though that is the first thing that Kate's dad does. 

Kate and Ben have a connection and things get hot and steamy, but he wants to push her away because of his secret. She doesn't care what it is, she just wants to be with him. 

This is a great short read and I love the ending! If you want a mysterious love story this is the book for you. 

I give it 4 out of 5 stars!
