When Holly Paige learned she had lupus, an incurable deadly disease, she gave up all hope—until Chris Franklin’s love gave her the courage to open her heart again. But when their feuding families object to their love, Chris and Holly decide they can only be happy far from the pressures of home, and they run away together. Finally they have the chance to discover the world—and their love. Then Holly’s illness takes a sudden, terrible turn. Chris knows he must take Holly home, the only place where she’ll have any chance of making it. He vows to stand by her—no matter what. But will Chris’s love be strong enough to save Holly?

An incurable disease . . . Seventeen-year-old Holly Paige always dreamed of a bright future beyond her small Vermont town. College, a career, romance—she wanted it all. But Holly’s dreams were shattered when she was diagnosed with lupus, an illness with no cure. Now Holly lives day to day, and doesn’t even dare to dream of tomorrow. A chance at love . . . Then Holly meets Chris Franklin, the Yale-bound son of the local resort owner. The attraction between them is immediate, but Holly refuses to fall in love—refuses to hope for happiness. The more she flees Chris, though, the more he pursues her. Will Holly allow fear to rule her heart, or will she risk everything for the promise of love?
