Description

What happens when your entire world is changed unexpectedly?

You pray for guidance.

Alexandria
Raised by loving parents, Alexandria Grant didn’t have any complaints in life. Though she wasn’t rich by any means, she’d still had an idyllic childhood, and she had never wanted for anything. Popular and smart, school had also been another blessing in her life. She’d never had to suffer any academic struggles or endure any bullying. In short, life was good.

When Alexandria gets accepted into college, it opens up a whole new world for her, and she can’t wait. Though intimidated by the new experience, it’s still not enough to send her running scared. Determined to make her parents proud, the plan was to stay on track to getting a degree and making the most of the blessings that she’d been afforded. However, best-laid plans were stupid.

Hunter
Raised to appreciate how things didn’t always come easily in life, Hunter Finley was a lot wiser than his age gave him credit for. Nevertheless, he was lucky enough to have good, hard-working, supportive parents, and his younger brother was his best friend. Growing up on the wrong side of the tracks, things could have been worse, something that too many people knew firsthand.

When Hunter’s presented with a chance to go to college, he grasps the opportunity with both hands. Since not much intimidated him, he was more than ready to make the most of his college education and do something more with his life than he’d ever thought possible. Though something that he hadn’t been prepared for, he was determined to make the most of it. Still, life was life.

When you least expect it…
After Alexandria’s concerns about college subside, she’s ready to embrace her new life and all its new experiences. Luckily for her, Hunter Finley is also enrolled in the same college, so she doesn’t have to navigate the pitfalls alone. She has at least one friend that she can lean on, and that’s everything.

After Hunter’s finally settled into college life, he sees how easy it can be to get sidetracked and that’s something that he refuses to do. He’s on a mission, and part of that mission is to make sure that he keeps an eye on Alexandria Grant. As friends, she was just as important to him as his education.

Unable to avoid all the drama that is college life, Alexandria finds herself relying on Hunter a lot more than she should. Even though they’re friends, it’s not Hunter Finley’s job to babysit her, even though Hunter is just fine with babysitting her whenever the occasion calls for it.

While Alexandria is doing her best to get along in her new world, Hunter is determined to not let her do it alone. However, one night together changes everything, and not for the better.

Spoiler Alert: There's no lake in the town of Lakeside.
