Astrid Waldorf has always played by her own rules: impeccably dressed, fiercely independent, and unapologetically bold. But when a cheating scandal with her old-money ex-boyfriend at Harvard blows up in her face, Astrid abandons the Ivy League to transfer to Briar University for a fresh start. Returning to the circle of boys she grew up with-including Dean Di Laurentis, who treats her like a cherished little sister, and Garrett Graham, her trusted confidant and vault-feels like safe territory.
What Astrid doesn't expect is Beau Maxwell. Briar's golden-boy quarterback has spent years hiding his feelings behind easy smiles and casual teasing, guarding a deep love for Astrid that dates back to their childhood summers. Now that she's on his turf, free from her ex, Beau decides he is done standing on the sidelines. As long-buried secrets surface, party nights bleed into quiet late-night revelations, and the pressure of elite expectations mounts, Astrid must decide if opening her heart to the boy who's always been there is worth risking the only family she's ever truly known.
