🌊 "He thought he knew heartbreak-until she walked into his life with coffee in one hand and chaos in the other. Now Conrad Fisher has to choose between the past he can't let go of... and the girl who's slowly becoming his future." --- this story takes place in season three/ book three of the summer I turned pretty. This story doesn't really follow any time line or "rules" i kind of made it up along the way In where Conrad meets someone at medical school

This story begins with Conrad in California, detached and disciplined, carrying the familiar weight of being the responsible one-the son who absorbed pressure, grief, and expectation until love felt indistinguishable from obligation. He is older now, sharper, angrier, and more self-aware, but still haunted by his past: his mother's death, his father's failures, and the wreckage left behind with Belly and Jeremiah. Everything fractures the night he meets Valeriya-brilliant, commanding, emotionally guarded, and immediately unreadable. Their connection is instant and volatile, built on challenge rather than comfort. Valeriya doesn't soften Conrad; she exposes him. She calls him out, refuses to be managed, and meets his intensity with her own. What starts as mutual fascination quickly spirals into something obsessive, physical, and deeply binding. Their relationship becomes the emotional center of the story: fierce loyalty, constant proximity, and an intimacy that is not gentle but deliberate. They move fast-not recklessly, but with certainty-building a shared life that feels private and impenetrable. Sex becomes routine, grounding, and expressive rather than impulsive; domesticity becomes just as charged as conflict. Conrad finds himself choosing her again and again-not out of duty, but desire. But as their bond deepens, the past fights back.

Matt Fisher, the oldest of Belly and Conrad's kids is having trouble in the dating wold. But then he meets the one girl he's willing to change for. AUTHOR RECOMMENDATION**** - if you have not yet read, The Summers After, I would start there!
