"That summer didn't just break the rules-it rewrote everything we thought we knew about each other." Violet Jones had grown up with Frazer O'Neill for as long as she could remember, and for just as long, they'd been at each other's throats. It wasn't the playful, harmless kind of childhood rivalry either-no, Frazer seemed to take genuine joy in getting under her skin. Every smirk, every sarcastic comment, every stupid prank only fueled the unspoken war between them. And of course, as if fate enjoyed mocking her, her older brother Ryan had decided that Frazer was his best friend. So when the Jones family planned their annual trip to their beach house-a place Violet usually considered her sanctuary-she made sure to bring her best friend Jessica along as backup. What she didn't plan for was Ryan inviting Frazer. Naturally. Because why wouldn't her peaceful summer escape turn into a personal nightmare? But none of them expected what would unfold that summer. Not the secrets waiting beneath the surface. Not the late-night arguments that shifted into something they couldn't name. Not the moments that blurred the sharp line they had drawn between hate and something far more dangerous. That summer would change everything-whether they were ready for it or not.
