For her last summer before college, Claudine Henry and her mother head to a remote island off the Georgia coast. There, amidst the wild beauty of the place, she meets the free spirited Jeremiah Crew. Their chemistry is immediate and irresistible, and even though they both know that whatever they have can only last the summer, maybe one summer is enough...

Josephine Morrow is Girl One. The first of nine 'Miracle Babies' conceived entirely without male aid or intervention, and raised on an experimental commune known as the Homestead.

 After a suspicious fire at the ranch kills both the doctor behind the pioneering experiment and one of the youngest of the girls, the mothers and their children are scattered across the country, some embracing the media spotlight, others - like Josephine's mother - refusing to talk about it.

Now years later, Josie is studying medicine, following in the footsteps of her beloved mentor, when she is called home to discover that her mother has vanished, her house left wrecked. Josie sets off on a desperate road trip, attempting to track down her estranged sisters, who seem to hold the keys to her mother's disappearance.

Imagine you've finally escaped the worst relationship of your life, running away with only a suitcase and a black eye. Imagine your new next-door neighbours are the friends you so desperately needed - fun, kind, empathetic, very much in love. Imagine they're in trouble. That someone is telling lies about them, threatening their livelihoods - and even their lives. Imagine your ex is coming for you.

If your new best friends needed you to tell one small lie, and all of these problems would disappear, you'd do it, wouldn't you? It's only one small lie, until someone turns up dead.
