Ali has spent her life being the girl everyone can count on: cheer captain, loyal best friend, and devoted daughter. She knows how to smile through pressure, how to lead when everything feels unstable, and how to hold the people she loves together even when she is falling apart inside.
But when a devastating accident changes her best friend Justin's life, Camila around more than usual. At 34, Camila is everything Ali should not want...her mother's best friend, sixteen years older, and tied to family history Ali is only beginning to understand. She is steady, protective, beautiful, and completely forbidden.
As Ali's feelings grow harder to ignore, so do the secrets surrounding her mother's health, Justin's recovery, and Camila's place in all of their lives. What begins as confusion slowly becomes something deeper, more dangerous, and impossible to walk away from.
Between grief, loyalty, first love, and forbidden desire, Ali must learn that some secrets are meant to protect, some are meant to break, and some desires change everything.
