"Justin," she said in a hoarse voice, "when I grow up, I'm going to marry you and tell you a different story every night like Scheherazade."

"When you grow up, I'm going to hold you to it," he promised, patting her head and telling her to get well.

Best selling author Jazzy Allen was only 14 years old the summer she asked Justin Wolfe to marry her. Fast forward twenty years later, she was shocked to learn the man planned to take her up on the offer.

Justin Wolfe returned to Grand Lake to clear his head and relive the fond memories of his childhood. Part of the loving reminiscences of the place revolved around Jazzy Allen, a pain in his ass that he looked forward to seeing each summer listening to the crazy stories the girl made up each day that she tried to make scary. He truly believed fate was giving him a second chance to get it right when he showed up at the lake.

A new chapter begins for them both with the discovery of old letters that hide a family secret.

Come over the river and through the woods to grandmother's house as Jazzy and Justin rediscover the love they shared as children, is far more potent as adults. This time, he would get it right. She wasn't a little girl anymore.
