Summary
Nicole Haught has always had a rebellious streak. Coupled with a more or less parentless childhood, there was always a chance she would get herself into serious trouble. But after she is forced to skip school too many times, things come to a head and a judge deems her parents unfit guardians. As a result, she is shipped across the country to the rural mountains of southern Alberta, as part of a ‘court-approved truancy prevention program’. Here she is to live with the judge’s personal friend, as well as his wife and nieces.
Nicole is required to work on Curtis McCready’s farm and attend a new school until graduation. Her counter-plan is simple: have her best friend come and pick her up early on the day she turns eighteen, and simply remain as disinterested as possible in the meantime. After all, she has been alright on her own before now. She doesn’t need a family. But then she is welcomed in by the McCreadys and, in particular, by their niece Waverly, and life suddenly takes on a new meaning...

Summary
It is the summer after graduation and Waverly has allowed herself to be dragged along on a beach vacation with some of the kids from school. She is undeniably excited for several weeks of sun and sand with Chrissy Nedley, but less happy to have Champ Hardy trailing around behind her like a lovesick puppy.
When she refuses to give in to his advances, he sets his sights on making her jealous by turning on the charm offensive with one of the cute lifeguards. The poor girl seems pretty underwhelmed by the attention. In fact, she seems to have eyes for someone else entirely...

"That will be us one day, Nicole thinks, gazing across the room at the top table as the groom prepares to bring his speech to a close. Waverly will be smiling like she is now, dressed in white with wildflowers in her hair…"
