Friendship -- in the best of all worlds -- can turn into the best kind of love. It sneaks up on you like a summer storm, and when lightning strikes, it can change your life forever. Bella and Jesse faced their high school graduation with hope and happiness, looking forward to the life they wanted together. Until the malicious act of a twisted mind tears them apart. Ten years of misunderstandings and deception kept them apart too long to hope for any kind of 'happily ever after'. Or, so they both believe. Lightning hardly ever strikes twice, but when it does, it can burn... or it can fuse.
