in which Brooke Zillman swears she's completely fine with being just Malachi Barton's best friend... even if it's the summer before he leaves for tour, even if every late-night drive feels heavier than it should, and even if "best friend" has never felt this complicated. Brooke Zillman is eighteen, stuck between wanting more and being terrified to lose what she already has. She's been by Malachi's side through everything - auditions, press days, the chaos of growing up in the spotlight - but this summer feels different. It's slower. Softer. Full of almost-confessions and lingering looks that last a second too long. With tour getting closer and time slipping through their fingers, Brooke has to decide if protecting their friendship is worth ignoring the way her heart races every time he smiles at her. Because sometimes the scariest part of change isn't him leaving. It's what happens if he doesn't come back the same.

She's a rising Hollywood star, he's the bad boy of Zombies 4. Their first meeting? Explosive. Sharp words, instant rivalry, and undeniable chemistry. Thrown together on the World Tour Collide, they argue, tease, and push each other to the limit-yet the closer they get, the harder it becomes to ignore what's really between them. Enemies-to-lovers, slow burn, full of tension, sparks, and dramatic twists that will keep hearts racing.

....Malachi's jaw tightened in irritation. "You made the bet, old man. And you lost. She comes with me." Then he stepped closer-so close you could feel the heat radiating off him and see the flicker of danger in his dark eyes. His voice dropped, low and alarmingly gentle. "You can walk to the car," he murmured, "or I can carry you." He leaned in, his breath brushing your cheek. "Either way... you're not staying here." The street was silent. Your father was sobbing. The guards were waiting. Malachi's gaze held yours-dark, unyielding. "Choose."
