"It's about how you feel. he should make you feel dizzy, like you want to faint, but is there to catch you when you fall."
Charlotte meets Travis, a much older guy, while on vacation in her hometown of Wisconsin. Never did she think that she would meet the love of her life while preventing him from drowning in his drunken state. Spending every moment with him the rest of her time on the lake, all Travis wants from the only girl to capture his attention and maybe even his heart is honesty. Harboring the guilt from an event from him past, makes a honesty in any relationship something that he is unable to live without. The little white lie that Charlotte tells Travis could tear them apart forever; or bond them in their love. Only time will tell.
After 5 years apart, the deaths of both of her parents and walking away from a horribly abusive relationship, Charlotte returns home to Wisconsin to be with her family. Not ready to see Travis just yet, she swears her cousin to secrecy, making sure he is unaware of her return. Her entire plan to prepare herself for their first encounter in such a long time is thrown out the window when she gets into a car accident and he is one of the responding firefighters at the scene. Afraid that once he knows the truth of the life she is fighting to free herself from he will never want to see her again; Charlotte tries to push him away in order to protect herself from yet another loss of someone she loves. But Travis has other ideas. He has waited 5 years to see her again and be with her and he refuses to let anything stand in his way; even Charlotte herself.

“There are so many things I want to say to you. I can’t thank you enough for staying.”
“You don’t need to thank me. I take care of the people I love. It’s ingrained in me to be a protector, and I happen to love you very much, so my services are all yours.” He smiles again. “Everything I have is yours, my heart, my home. I know I’m not a millionaire or anything, but I promise you, absolutely nobody will ever love you as much as I do. There is no object, no monetary amount, that signifies my love for you. There are no limits on the hell I’d walk through to make sure you were happy.”
