Jocelyn Hale is only sixteen when she falls in love with Damien Drasher, the young man she had spent her childhood with. It felt as if the pieces of her life were falling into place until the sudden deaths of her parents stun her. When the man she loves leaves, inexplicably severing their romantic ties, Jocelyn is left utterly depressed. Four years later, she is picking up the pieces with the help of her new love, Charles Varnesfield. When Charles's sister, Jane, returns from abroad with a fiance, however, suddenly Jocelyn can be sure of nothing. With the constant addition of Jane's superficial friends and Charles's mysterious business partner, Jocelyn finds herself alternately wishing for the summer to end and fearing what she will find for herself when it does. Set in a fictitious England countryside in 1815, this story is about the confusion involved with love and loss and the struggle between following social norms and the instincts of the heart."
