" We were broken. By life. By others. By our own serious dysfunctions. But we finally found each other, after almost two decades of near misses. Of being so close. And when we finally did come together all of the pieces fit together perfectly, as if all that time, we were being broken so we would be perfect for each other. " -J. Warren Welch- In which Aurora Gilmore and Jess Mariano were two young kids with broken hearts. Two people broken by the ones that were meant to love, and care for them. But everything changed the night they met, something in both of them had begun to mend. Something had clicked the moment their eyes met. Something had come alive. A new love had blossomed, they were each other's missing piece.

Promises? Broken. Laws? Broken. Rules against macking a fellow Pogue? Somehow not broken. The only thing Parker Kate Routledge loves more than pushing boundaries is pushing her twin brother's buttons. And what better way than to flirt with his dangerously sexy and completely off-limits best friend? She's read enough dirty books to know what to say. What she doesn't know is how JJ always has the perfect response capable of toying with her mind. Nine years ago, JJ Maybank promised to stay away from his best friend's twin sister. And for good reason. Parker is more than gorgeous; she is incredibly smart and witty, while JJ is -- not. As much as JJ tells himself to stay away, he cannot help but turn into a shameless flirt whenever she enters a room. Parker might like that it drives John B mad, but JJ likes that it turns her cheeks pink. As the friend group's summer takes a crazy turn, Parker and JJ find themselves doing more than pretending to break the rules. The two are then left wondering what's real, what's fake, and how fast John B would kill them if they ended up together.
