What happens when your entire world is no longer as it was?
You pray for patience.
Edie
Raised by the best brother in the world, Edie Draven’s life could have turned out very differently if not for her family. Though considered poor, Edie hadn’t ever felt that way. Her mother worked lots of jobs to keep a roof over their heads, and her brother had made countless sacrifices to secure a solid future for her; one that she wouldn’t have had otherwise. So, yeah, she was very blessed, and she knew it.
When Edie’s senior year of high school finally comes along, it’s the first time that she doesn’t have her brother at her side. Though excited about her newfound freedom, it still takes a lot of getting used to. Her sudden popularity with guys is another thing that takes a lot of getting used to, but since she’s not naïve or boy crazy, she’s got it all under control. Or at least, she thought she did.
Lars
Raised to never take anything for granted, Lars Finley’s loyalty is solid. Even though his parents and brother had raised him well, he’d also been raised to know the true meaning of sacrifice. When you were surrounded by the working-class, you understood what was important and what wasn’t really quickly. Nevertheless, he really had no complaints, something that he was very grateful for.
When Lars’ senior year of high school finally rolls around, he looks forward to making the most of it. Now that college is a possibility for him, he needs to cut back on the partying and concentrate on his grades more. Having always been a ladies’ man, it takes some getting used to when his appreciation for the fairer sex takes a backseat to his future. A future that he didn’t see coming, mind you.
When you least expect it…
After Edie’s sense of loneliness ebbs a bit, she finds herself making new friends, going to parties, and guys are finally asking her out. Unfortunately or fortunately-depending on who you asked-Lars Finley has decided to pick up from where her brother left off, driving her insane.
After Lars’ priorities are finally put in order, he finds that Edie Draven sits at the top of that list. Determined not to let his best friend down, he’s ready to snuff the life out of Edie’s newfound freedom, convinced that it’s the right thing to do since she is destined for bigger and better things.
Unable to shake off her brooding, overprotective, six-foot-tall guard dog, Edie has to find a way to get Lars Finley to back off. While she just wants to go to the movies with a guy, he’s convinced that she’s going to get pregnant from the first guy that kisses her, and she can’t convince him otherwise.
While Edie is doing her best to get a life, Lars is just as determined to stop her from succeeding. However, life takes a crazy turn when their fighting finally boils over, causing all kinds of drama.
Spoiler Alert: There's no lake in the town of Lakeside.
