From the back cover

For ten years, Wen has loved Julian Thorne, who treats her with cold contempt, saving his kindness for Claire, his first love with a heart condition. When Wen is diagnosed with terminal cancer, Julian finally seems to care, even planning a proposal. Then he asks her to donate her heart to Claire, since she is dying anyway.

On the same day, Wen learns the diagnosis was a mistake. She accepts a job offer from across the ocean and decides to leave. But Julian's call pulls her back to Claire's side, where a fall down the stairs leaves her bleeding and feverish, and her music composition turns up on Claire's desk, taken from her home with Julian's key.

At Julian's birthday party, Wen hears the truth: ten years ago, he and his friends made a bet on how long she would last. As her love shatters, an email from Cole offers her a new life in the States.
