At twenty-one years old, Oz Sullivan is unable to understand
his fascination with and attraction to a much younger Adrienne Deschanel.
Adrienne is spirited, passionate, and impulsive... all of the things Oz is not.
Oz is drawn to her in a way that is inexplicable to him, and deeply concerning
to those who know him.
Amidst her father’s threats, Adrienne makes secret plans to
run away with Oz. Before they can act on them, Adrienne and her family are
involved in a tragic accident that takes the lives of the entire family.
Adrienne’s body, however, is not found in the wreckage. Oz is devastated and
unable to move on when an extensive investigation fails to solve the mystery of
Adrienne’s vanishing.
Three years later Oz has made a life for himself
as an attorney at his family’s law firm. However, the predictability and peace
of his quiet life is shattered when Adrienne is discovered, alive and well…but
with no memory of anything before the accident. Oz is conflicted: grateful that
she is alive but still damaged from her disappearance and hesitant to get
involved and re-open a wound that never fully closed. Yet, Oz finds himself
unable to resist helping when Adrienne’s desperate attempt to flee the
confusing and dark influences in her life instinctively finds her on Oz’s
doorstep. Unable to turn her away, but equally unable to get too involved, Oz
keeps from her the truth of who he was and what they meant to each other before
she disappeared. Against his better judgment he finds himself enmeshed in the
mystery of what happened to her when she was sixteen. The more he learns, the
less he understands, and as the story unfolds and Adrienne’s memory slowly
returns, everything they thought they both knew gets called into question.

Ana Deschanel has made a terrible mistake. The only chance
of protecting the other people involved is to flee New Orleans, the only home
she has ever known, for the quiet solitude of Summer Island.
Summer Island, Maine (population 202) is not the tranquil
escape Ana imagined. The locals are distant and cold, especially her neighbor,
the reclusive veterinarian Jonathan St. Andrews. Her only lifeline is the kind
but odd caretaker Alex Whitman. Showing up at all the right moments, he warns
her she is completely unprepared for a Maine winter. As the first winter storm
approaches to whispers of an island shutdown- Ana realizes that she may soon be
cut off from the rest of the world.
After a surprising encounter with Jonathan’s brother, Finn,
Ana finds herself braving the storm to return something to him. Unprepared for
the Maine storm, she slips and falls onto the jagged rocks along the shore. The
St. Andrews brothers find her in the nick of time, but she remains unconscious.
As the storm worsens, the St. Andrews brothers learn there are other, more
sinister forces at work closer than they ever imagined.
With no help from the outside world, they must find a way to
protect themselves from both the storm, and the growing darkness that looms
across the island.
