Lately she thinks life is all about hanging on by a thread and is gripping tight with everything she has. Then she meets Caleb. She saves his life and instantly knows there's something about him that's intriguing but she is supposed to be on her way to a date with his cousin. But things change when they touch, sparks ignite.

Can Caleb save her or will they be forced to live without each other after just finding one another?

Excerpt:

I was jolted back to the present when my eyes saw what was actually in front of me and not a strange vision of happy times. I was still looking at Caleb's face. He was still looking at me but, just like in the vision, he was smiling. Ecstatically. 
            "It's you," he whispered in wonder. "You're the one."
            "What's going on?" I heard Kyle behind me but I couldn't look away from the blue eyes looking at me with such want.
            Caleb came closer to me, releasing my hand and framing my face with his hands and I felt a flood of calm and warmth.
            "Breath, Maggie." I hadn't realized I was holding my breath. I took a deep breath and felt the air rush in and out frantically as I blinked. My head cleared a little. He smiled. "Everything's going to be ok. Alright? Just don't be upset. You don't have to be scared."
            "What are you doing?" Kyle asked and pushed Caleb's hands away. The second he did that, I felt cold and oddly desperate and heard myself gasp. "Dude. Not cool. Look, I understand that she saved you and you feel- whatever- but I told you about this girl. You can't just-"
            "She's the one, Kyle," Caleb interrupted, never taking his eyes from mine. It felt like an eternity had passed since he'd first taken my hand and I was still tingling in my veins from whatever had taken place. "It's her."
