When British-born Jillian came to visit her brother in Boston, she wasn't expecting to fall in love with Josh, whom she met at a neighbor's backyard party. Despite opposition from her parents and downright hostility from Josh's cousin Randi, Josh and Jillian were sure that their love was strong enough to survive even having an ocean between them. Josh was everything that Jillian had ever imagined, and Jillian represented the first real happiness Josh had felt since the car accident that killed his parents and sister when he was in his teens.


When a serious infection left Josh in the hospital under threat of having his leg amputated, Jillian returned to Boston, prepared to stay indefinitely. Only then did she realize that a long stay in a strange country was going to be more difficult than she had imagined, and Randi's hostility towards their relationship was wearing her down. Will Jillian find the courage to keep their love afloat?
