Clara is desperate to get away from the memories that haunt her in Wyoming and the visions of a future she isn't ready to face. Spending the summer in Italy with her best friend, Angela, should be the perfect escape.

Angela has been told for as long as she can remember that love is dangerous and that she must always guard her heart. When she met Phen, an ancient angel, she was determined to be with him whatever the cost. Now she must decide whether she can trust Clara with her secret, or whether telling her the truth will risk everything she cares about.

The story alternates between Angela's and Clara's perspectives over one summer that tests their friendship.
