Claire Collins is ready for a fresh start.
Recently divorced and struggling under the weight of student loan debt, she agrees to an unusual summer arrangement that promises both financial relief and a chance to step outside her comfort zone.
What begins as a straightforward agreement quickly becomes something far more complicated.
Shane Underwood may be a successful corporate lawyer in the city, but away from the demands of everyday life, he reveals a side of himself few people ever see. As the two spend more time together, Claire realizes there's much more beneath his carefully controlled exterior than she ever expected.
Set against the backdrop of long summer days and secluded forests, their connection grows from a thrilling adventure into something deeper. But opening their hearts may prove even more challenging than taking a chance on each other in the first place.
