Newly graduated Erin
Walters decides to have one last summer of fun before embarking on a

complete before permanently signing off, and his last hurrah doesn’t
leave room for dreamers like Erin. Bumping into her at the airport,
therefore, he’s more than a little surprised when he finds himself
irresistibly drawn to the young woman. Soon some of that starry-eyed
innocence of hers starts rubbing off on him, like balm to his wounded
soul. Before long, the two plunge into a passionate affair that
leaves them both reeling, their lives permanently changed. But can the
events that Raminar has set in motion still be turned back, or is it too
late? Views: 6
