Three years ago, Hale was just gone from Zoe's life without an explanation or even a goodbye. His appearance at her college graduation party is unexpected, as is his offer to let her use his apartment for the summer while he's in Europe.

Their forbidden love could cost them everything, but sharing 800 square feet leaves nowhere to escape from the intense passion smoldering between them.
