What to do when you fall in love with the person you least expect? After being accidentally locked in the library for the entire weekend, Autumn Collins doesn't think things can get any worse. But she realizes that she is not alone. Dax Miller is locked in with her. Autumn doesn't know much about Dax, except that he's trouble. Between the rumors about a fight he got into (and the brief stint in juvie that followed) and his reputation for being antisocial, he's not exactly the best weekend company. Still, Autumn tries to stay calm and remember that it's only a matter of time before Jeff, her almost boyfriend, realizes he left her in the library and comes to rescue her. But Jeff doesn't show up. Nobody shows up. In the face of this, it's clear that Autumn will have to spend the weekend eating cereal bars and trying to talk to a boy who clearly wants nothing to do with her. Until she realizes there's so much more to Dax than he lets on. As Autumn and Dax open up to each other, she's amazed at their connection. But will the feelings survive when the weekend is over and Autumn's life returns to normal?
