Summary & Teaser
Eighteen-year-old Mya is more comfortable acing exams and hiding behind textbooks than navigating parties or relationships. She’s bookish, shy, and has definitely never been kissed. But her best friend, Brittany—who is loud, wild, and the complete opposite of Mya—is determined to change that.
Dragged to California for an epic summer trip free from rules and parents, Mya is under strict orders to finally live a little before senior year starts.
Mya’s plans for a potentially quiet summer observing from the sidelines are shattered when a humiliating party disaster throws her straight into the arms of Caleb – devastatingly handsome, frustratingly enigmatic, and utterly magnetic.
Their first kiss is an electric shock, intense and unforgettable, but Mya quickly learns Caleb isn’t exactly available, adding heartbreak and confusion to the mix.
Back home in Seattle for senior year, Mya tries desperately to forget the complicated boy from California, attempting to find stability with Mike, a popular, attentive football player who seems like the perfect safe choice.
But her resolve crumbles when Caleb transfers to her high school, bringing their confusing, undeniable chemistry crashing back into her life.
Now caught between Mike’s increasingly possessive affection and Caleb’s intense, hot-and-cold pursuit, Mya is trapped in a whirlwind of jealousy, secrets, and misunderstandings.
Caleb is fighting demons from a haunted past that make him push her away even as he claims her, while Mike’s jealousy twists into something toxic and controlling.
Mya must navigate the treacherous path of first love, figure out who she can trust, and decide if the dangerous, irresistible pull towards Caleb is worth the potential heartbreak.

…..“Hey, Mike,” Caleb drawled, his voice dripping with condescension.
“Looks like you’ve got yourself a new little charity case. Didn’t know you were into lost causes.”
Mike’s smile vanished. “What’s your deal, Caleb? You’ve got nothing better to do than be a dick?”
Caleb ignored him, his gaze locking onto mine.
“Don’t waste your time on her, Mike,” he sneered. “She won’t even suck your dick, let alone fuck you. Not worth the effort.”
Laughter erupted around us. Heat rushed to my face, anger and humiliation burning.
Mike snapped, “You’re out of line, man. I’m not going to let you disrespect her like that.”
Caleb’s smirk vanished, his expression darkening.
“I’ll say whatever the fuck I want,” he muttered, stepping forward until he was nearly nose-to-nose with Mike. “So if I were you, I’d stay in your lane. You don’t know what you’re dealing with.”
