ATTRACTION AT FIRST SIGHT CAN BE MESSY... When Tate Collins finds airline pilot Miles Archer passed out in front of her apartment door, it is definitely not love at first sight. They wouldn't even go so far as to consider themselves friends. But what they do have is an undeniable mutual attraction. He doesn't want love and she doesn't have time for a relationship, but their chemistry cannot be ignored. Once their desires are out in the open, they realize they have the perfect set-up, as long as Tate can stick to two rules: Never ask about the past and don't expect a future. Tate is determined that she can handle it, but when she realises that she can't, will she be able to say no to her sexy pilot when he lives just next door?

Egy véletlen találkozás a sötétben pont elég ahhoz, hogy a tizennyolc éves Daniel és a belé botló lány szerelmet valljon egymásnak. A románc azonban feltételekhez kötött: megállapodnak, hogy csupán egy órán át tart, és csak úgy tesznek, mintha. A hatvan perc elteltével a lány éppúgy válik köddé, mint Hamupipőke. Daniel pedig igyekszik meggyőzni magát arról, hogy a történtek csak azért látszottak tökéletesnek, mert eljátszották az egészet. Ilyen csak a tündérmesékben szokott történni, ugye. Egy évvel és egy boldogtalan kapcsolattal később viszont már kénytelen hinni benne, hogy létezik szerelem első látásra - hiszen találkozik Sixszel, a furcsa nevű lánnyal, akinek még furcsább a személyisége. Daniel számára sajnos az igaz szerelem megtalálása nem jelent egyet élete megoldásával. Sőt, talán távolabb is visz tőle. A múlt elképesztően sötét titka vajon árnyékot vethet Danel és Six egyetlen esélyére, hogy megmentsék egymást?

Holder a Losing Hope-ban meséli el, hogy a tizenhárom évvel korábbi események miként hatottak az ő és családja életére, s hogyan lett magányos küldetés számára a lány megmentése. A végleges gyógyulást azonban csak a Sky iránt érzett szerelem hozhatja el...
