Blake, Ashley Herring

Delilah Green juro no volver a Bright Falls, donde no le quedan mas que recuerdos de su solitaria infancia en la que era poco mas que una carga para su fria y distante madrastra. Su vida esta en Nueva York, donde su carrera como fotografa esta tomando impulso y su cama nunca esta vacia. De acuerdo, la acompana cada noche una mujer distinta, pero ya esta bien asi. Cuando su hermanastra Astrid la presiona con un sutil sentimiento de culpa y un talonario de cinco cifras para ser la fotografa de su boda, a Delilah no le queda otro remedio que volver al pueblo al que una vez llamo hogar. Su plan es llegar y marcharse en cuanto pueda... pero entonces ve a Claire Sutherland, una de las mejores amigas de Astrid, y decide que, despues de todo, quiza si haya algo divertido que hacer en Bright Falls. Claire Sutherland es madre de una hija de once anos a la que ha criado practicamente sola, tiene que aguantar a su desastroso ex y es la encargada de una libreria, asi que su vida no tiene espacio para sorpresas. Y Delilah Green es una sorpresa muy poco bienvenida... al principio. Aunque se conocen desde hace anos, no se conocen, por lo que a Claire la inquieta que Delilah sepa exactamente que es lo que la hace saltar. Cuando se ven envueltas en el torbellino de preparativos para la boda, incluyendo una artimana para salvar a Astrid de su horrible prometido, Claire comienza a dudar de su capacidad para resistirse a los encantos de Delilah. Y lo que es peor: empieza a pensar que tampoco quiere hacerlo.
