She has a beautiful daughter, a supportive circle of friends, and a handsome, successful fiancé, Nick. To outsiders, it would seem like Crystal is living the perfect life.

But when Nick accepts a promotion that would force them to move from her hometown of Jacksonville, Florida, to Houston, Texas, Crystal can't escape a lingering sense of doubt. Now she has the rest of the summer to pack up her old life and prepare for a new start-but is this guy she's ready to give everything up for really Mr. Right?

When she meets a total stranger at a local park, it only adds to her confusion. A white-skinned loner with no real career ambitions, Adam could be considered Nick's polar opposite in every single way. But while the career-driven Nick prefers to buy affection, Adam is genuine and true-and he even hits it off with her daughter, Angel, right away.

As the lives of these perfect strangers collide, they both must face difficult choices-as they each experience a growing sense of longing that transcends racial and socioeconomic lines. But will they manage to be honest about their true feelings, to themselves and each other, before it's too late?
