Publisher's Synopsis
Jake Hammond is the current Prince of Juniper Falls. He's also been labelled the next great player to emerge from the Juniper Falls hockey dynasty. When a hundred-year-old hazing tradition at Juniper Falls pond goes all wrong, Jake is left seriously injured, shouldering the blame for the near death of another student and the knowledge that the quiet new girl saved his life. Maybe if she'd realized how different this small town was from Austin, Brooke Parker wouldn't have followed her mum here. Not that she had a choice. Same with saving that cocky hockey player from drowning at the pond. Now, she keeps seeing that same guy, wandering the woods between their houses. And they start to regularly meet at midnight in Jake's old tree house. Jake realizes that Brooke is full of life, ideas, places, and experiences bigger and broader than anything he's ever known.
