Emily Sheffield's parents are the worst. Okay, maybe Emily has been erratic and her behavior a little reckless lately, but shipping her off to live with her grandparents in Alaska is so much worse than she deserves. For Aiden Cohen, life in Alaska is perfect: good grades, great friends, and work he loves. There's just one thing missing: his mom. But a disastrous first meeting with his birth mom leaves Aiden stunned and ready to go back to his ordinary life in Alaska. 

A confusion on the runaway prevents the plane from landing, but when the plane hits a bad patch of turbulence, throwing it off-course, the pilots lose control. The plane crashes, leaving Emily, Aiden, and two dozen other passengers stranded on a creepy island. But they aren't the only ones on the island, and it's now a race against time for someone to find them before the island's inhabitants do.

Warped Remains

His body continues to shake, and so I climb onto his lap. He wastes no time wrapping his arms around my waist and squeezing me tight to him. Matt would never let me sit on his lap. But Aiden? He's holding me so close, it's like he enjoys having me close. The thought he might sends a thrill up my spine.


"Getting warm?" I whisper against his neck.


He nods and runs his hands up my back. "Thank you." He makes no move to release me, though, and I don't complain. Being wrapped in his embrace makes it easy to forget where I am and how much trouble we're all in - unlike what happened with Matt after that fateful party.


We sit like that for a while, neither of us speaking. I turn my head enough to stare out at the ocean, waiting for a boat to appear on the horizon or to hear a plane overhead, but other than the sound of the fire crackling and the waves crashing, everything is silent. Does anyone even know we've crashed? Surely, they must.
