A boy with too many scars. A girl with too much rage. One summer that ruins them in all the right ways.

Victoria didn't want a fresh start. Elijah didn't want to be saved. But the moment they collide on a Florida beach, something unspoken sparks and neither of them walks away untouched.

Secret nights. Stolen kisses. A connection they try (and fail) to bury once school starts and real life gets vicious.

Years. Distance. Lies. Trauma. No matter what destroys them, they keep finding their way back.
