With plans to head off to college in the fall, Janine’s last summer at home is falling apart. Not only does her long-time best friend. Sean, start hinting that he wants to become more than just friends, but her widowed father has decided to date a woman Janine doesn’t like. At all!
When her Dad makes plans to take his new ladyfriend along with them on their yearly father/daughter trip over her birthday, Janine rebels. No way was she going if that woman was coming along. Her Dad goes anyway. Without her. In fact, he has just dropped off her birthday present...before giving her a pat on the head and leaving her alone on her birthday... when Rocky, a member of the new steeple-jack crew in town, walks into the ice cream shop where she works. Soon the ice cream is not the only thing that’s melting.
Angry at her father, estranged from her best friend,Sean, Janine basks in the attention of this handsome young man, ignoring his dangerous side until her summer gets much, much worse!
