Audrey Montgomery had her entire summer planned-until it was taken from her. Dragged across the country to stay with strangers in California, she's stuck in a life that doesn't feel like hers, far from her friends, her boyfriend, and everything she knows. The house is beautiful, the people are kind... but none of it matters. She doesn't want to be here. Then she meets him. Mysterious, guarded, and hiding behind a life she doesn't understand, Felicia's son is the last person Audrey expects to change anything. But the more time she spends in this unfamiliar place, the more everything she thought she wanted begins to blur. Because sometimes the wrong place... brings you exactly where you're meant to be. And sometimes one summer can change everything.

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.

Freya Skye Jones is THE girl. The voice everyone recognizes. The face everyone follows. The girl who survived the tour that was supposed to break her... and came back even bigger. At least, that's what the world thinks. Because behind the sold-out shows, the flashing cameras, and the perfectly curated posts, something shifted. And it started with him. Malachi Barton. Golden boy. Fan favorite. The one person who was never supposed to become a problem. Her best friend. Her almost. Her what-if. But what happens when a contract tells you to stay away from the one person you've never been able to let go of? What happens when you're told to act like you hate each other... and suddenly it's not acting anymore? It starts small. A look held too long. A joke that doesn't land the same. A picture. Just one. And suddenly the internet decides everything for them. Because the world loves a story. Especially when it's falling apart. And maybe that's all this is. Misunderstandings. Rumors. Bad timing. Right? Because what happens when the person you love the most... isn't there to see who you're becoming? And what happens when "we'll figure it out" isn't as easy as it sounds?

Hazel Manhiem had only ever known Malachi Barton through social media and the stories her brother, Milo, told about him. Malachi had heard about Hazel too. But they had never actually met. Until Milo brought Hazel with him to New Zealand while filming *Zombies 4*, and one unexpected introduction turns into late nights, new memories, and something neither of them planned. Sometimes the person you've only seen through a screen ends up meaning a lot more in real life.
