Hope expects to spend a long, rainy summer with her grandmother, but between discovering her grandmother's secrets and discovering Matthew, the boy who lived next door, her summer is nothing like she planned. Mysterious photos of her grandmother with a man who definitely isn't Grandpa Russell, a diary her grandmother wrote when she was young about a man Hope didn't know, then catching her grandmother as she sneaks up a ladder to her own bedroom window with a man holding the ladder... what does all of it mean? Hope is determined to find out, that is if she isn't distracted too much by Matthew and his sweet ways. Maybe he can help Hope learn who her grandmother really is... and was.

Jamie’s family has been broken since she was ten years old, and she was placed with her aunt and uncle who were childless on purpose. As much as they thought they hid their resentment for the "obligation", she knew. When Jamie turns eighteen, she decides to take her life -- and her trust fund -- in hand and find her own way. She leaves Florida for New York to pursue her dreams at Clarkmore University. In the first week, she meets roommates Scott Scotch and Duncan Buchanan. One is the perfect boy for her, the other is his roommate... problem is, Jamie doesn't quite see at first which is which. She also meets Professor Drew Bond, who becomes so much more than just a teacher of anthropology to her, but a mentor, a friend, a confidant, and in many ways the father figure she has missed for the last eight years. Jamie has this image in her mind of the perfect family, the picture perfect life. But pictures can be faked. Perfect is what you make it. Perfect isn't always obvious, and it takes a severe reality check and a moment of heartbreak like none she's felt in ten years to make Jamie see what has been in front of her all along.

Secrets are revealed, a ruthless killer of children is brought to justice, and Mark, Maya, and their mentors are all pushed to their limits just to stay alive.
