An unexpected connection in a weekend-long predicament

Autumn Collins is stranded in a library over a weekend with Dax Miller, a classmate she knows mainly through rumors and his reputation as a loner. Their limited surroundings and need to make conversation bring them into contact, while Autumn waits for the almost-boyfriend she expects to come looking for her. As the two begin to open up, the setup shifts from an awkward confinement into a story about first impressions, unexpected attraction, and the pull of existing relationships. The central tension follows Autumn beyond the library: whether a connection formed in isolation can hold when her ordinary life returns.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teen and young adult readers interested in contemporary romance.
  • Readers who enjoy stories built around two characters getting to know each other in a confined setting.
  • Readers interested in dating and relationship choices.

Book overview

An irresistible story from Kasie West that explores the timeless question: What do you do when you fall for the person you least expect?

When Autumn Collins finds herself accidentally locked in the library for an entire weekend, she doesn't think things could get any worse. But that's before she realizes that Dax Miller is locked in with her.

Autumn doesn't know much about Dax except that he's trouble. Between the rumors about the fight he was in (and that brief stint in juvie that followed it) and his reputation as a loner, he's not exactly the ideal person to be stuck with. Still, she just keeps reminding herself that it is only a matter of time before Jeff, her almost-boyfriend, realizes he left her in the library and comes to rescue her.

Only he doesn't come. No one does.

Instead it becomes clear that Autumn is going to have to spend the next couple of days living off vending-machine food and making conversation with a boy who clearly wants nothing to do with her. Except there is more to Dax than meets the eye.

As he and Autumn at first grudgingly, and then not so grudgingly, open up to each other, Autumn is struck by their surprising connection. But can their feelings for each other survive once the weekend is over and Autumn's old life, and old love interest, threaten to pull her from Dax's side?
