Camp Wilde Woode is Emi's favorite place. Nestled in the beautiful mountains of North Carolina, she has been going to camp every year since she was seven years old - first as a camper, then as a counselor. But this summer is her last. She's off to college in the fall, so Emi is determined to make the next three months the best yet. Overnight backpacking trips, canoe races, archery, horseback riding... she loves it all. Especially the fact that Camp Wilde Woode is all girls (except for the one lone male, Myles, the camp director's son). Myles has every single girl's attention - he's cute and funny, of course. And annoyingly arrogant. Every year one "lucky" girl becomes his summer hook up, and every year Emi avoids him. Only this summer, Myles brings home a friend, and for the first time at camp, Emi has a crush. It's only natural that she stops avoiding Myles now, but the closer she tries to get to his friend, the more she finds herself liking Myles. . . . .

~~~~~ One thing that most definitely hasn't changed is the power of those bright hazel eyes to reduce me to a puddle of mush. And I can't help but think of the last time I was looking into them, right after he kissed me and walked away 15 years ago. Suddenly, all I can think about is how much I want him to kiss me again, and this makes me absolutely furious with myself. ~~~~~~ Em spent her last two years of high school fantasising about Chris. He seemed to hate her, though... except for that one time he kissed her out of nowhere and then disappeared out of her life. 15 years later, Chris is back. And it turns out that, even now they're both in their thirties, she still hasn't quite recovered from her teenage crush. Thrown together unexpectedly, she's either going to have to get over him... or *under* him. But does he feel the same???

"You think I can't convince everyone that I have feelings for you?" His eyes are darker than ever, and any sign of a smile has now vanished. The only word I can think right now to describe him is "smouldering". I have searched many great romance novels (and even more sub-standard ones), and I am yet to find a better synonym for that particular word. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Abigail Watson has always played by the rules.
