Jennifer Niven

With graduation on the horizon, budding writer Claudine Henry is focused on three things: college in the fall, become a famous author, and the ever-elusive possibility of sex. Then her dad drops a bombshell: he and Claude's mom are splitting up. Claude's mom whisks them both away to a remote, mosquito-infested island off the coast of Georgia, where the two of them can start the painful process of mending their broken hearts. It's the last place Claude can imagine finding her footing, but then Jeremiah Crew happens. Miah is a local trail guide with a passion for photography, and a past he doesn't like to talk about. He's brash, enigmatic, and even more infuriatingly, he's the only one who seems to see Claude for who she wants to be. When Claude decides to sleep with Miah, she tells herself it's just sex-- she's not going to put her already broken heart at risk. -- adapted from jacket
