Description：

After she confessed her love to her stepbrother, he turned her down without a flicker. Asher Whitcombe — the boy who'd raised her, protected her, called her *Hazie* — became a stranger overnight.

So Hazel Larkin fled abroad. For three years she tried to forget him.

When she comes home, he announces his engagement to her face. She braces herself to smile, to wish him well — and instead she's told the truth.

Asher is dying.

The engagement is a lie. So is everything she thought she knew about why he pushed her away. And in the wake of the loss that will hollow her out, a different boy has been waiting — patient, ridiculous, devoted — for her to be ready to see him.

A devastating, hopeful love story about letting go, growing up, and the love that grows quietly while you're looking the other way.
