Description
Claire Townsend never knew her real father, and her mom, Liz, was always focused on whatever man she was chasing that week. The closest thing Claire had to a parent was Pierce Bloomfield: the man who left his wife to be with Liz. Even after Liz grew tired of him, and his family back home wanted nothing to do with him, he loved Claire like she was his own daughter. When Pierce dies in a tragic car accident on Claire's graduation day, she spends her first summer after college in Earnston, the small town Pierce grew up in, working to settle his affairs. It was Pierce's wish that she do it all with Brandon Bloomfield, the son he left behind. Brandon never recovered from his dad's abandonment, and his erratic behavior has been the talk of the town ever since. Claire knows she can help Brandon heal, and she owes it to Pierce to fix what he broke. But she never expected to develop feelings that could lead them both to even more heartbreak and betrayal.
