Seventeen-year-old Noah Morgan lives a quiet, normal life with her mother in Toronto . . . until her mother meets and marries William Leister, a wealthy and enigmatic lawyer from California. Noah finds herself moving to LA, leaving her volleyball team, her best friend, and her boyfriend behind. Upon arriving in her new life of private schools and pool parties, she meets her new brother, Nicholas-a college student, and seemingly the typical spoiled rich kid. Noah has no desire to get along with him, especially when she discovers Nick's secret life of clandestine car racing and street fights.

Nick and Noah's rocky relationship is struggling through its worst moment, and it seems that nothing can go back to the way it was before. They will have to surmount a new and frightening set of challenges to finally understand if they are really made for each other or if being apart is their only chance to be happy. Love is not always enough, and forgiveness sometimes doesn't fix what's been broken. But can you forget such a strong connection? How can memories tattooed on the heart be erased? Will they be able to leave the past behind and start over?

When Noah fell in love with Nick, she knew their relationship would never be easy. They're fire and electricity, and when they're together, every kind of sparks fly. After last summer, Noah thought their passion had grown stronger than their fear, but her life is about to turn upside down again now that she's starting university. Moving again while maintaining her relationship with Nick will be a difficult hurdle, with their age difference, campus life, dangerous parties, and inner demons stalking them both, reminding them of all they still don't know about each other.

Richard Dawkins considère Le phénotype étendu comme sa contribution la plus importante à la théorie de l'évolution. Dans Le gène égoïste, il avait placé le gène au centre de la sélection naturelle. Les gènes ne se contentent pas de façonner le corps qu'ils habitent. Leur influence s'étend au monde extérieur: dans le barrage du castor, dans la toile de l'araignée, dans le comportement d'un oiseau manipulé par un coucou parasite. Le comportement d'un animal tend à maximiser la survie des gènes responsables de ce comportement, que ces gènes se trouvent ou non dans son propre corps.
