In the golden haze of summer sunsets, love feels eternal-but life has a way of testing even the strongest bonds. Ava thought she had it all figured out: a small town, a predictable life, and a heart carefully protected from heartbreak. That is, until she meets Leo-the boy with a free spirit, a quick smile, and a knack for turning her world upside down. From stolen moments by the ocean to late-night drives in a red pickup, every choice Ava makes seems to bring her closer to Leo-but also closer to the realities that could tear them apart. With family secrets, past heartbreaks, and life-changing decisions looming, Ava must choose between the safety of what she knows and the risk of a love that could consume her. "I will always choose you," Leo whispers one sunset, and Ava realizes that some choices are worth the risk... if your heart is brave enough.

Primrose Nightingale has always been a Kook-born into the privileged life of the Figure Eight. With no mother, it's just her and her father, the picture-perfect pair everyone in town admires. At least, that's the story they tell in public. Behind closed doors, the truth is far from perfect. Secrets fester. Wounds run deep. And the life everyone envies feels more like a gilded cage. She never imagined crossing the line between Kook and Pogue, let alone finding a friend among them. But when trauma cracks her walls, she opens up to a Pogue in a way she never thought possible. What starts as an unlikely connection becomes something far more dangerous-a friendship that will challenge her loyalties, unravel her world, and force her to choose between the life she's always known and the one her heart is beginning to crave.
