Savannah Osterfield begins her new adventure of being a university student. Moving in with her brother and his best friend who she always assumed she hated, she comes to the realization that the hate she felt could be something completely different. Maybe this boy drives her crazy in more ways than one.

She was never supposed to fall for him. He was older, untouchable, and, worst of all, her father's best friend. For years, he had been nothing more than a familiar face in her father's world. Someone she trusted. Someone she was never meant to see differently. But somewhere between lingering glances, quiet conversations, and feelings neither of them dared to name, the line between forbidden and inevitable began to disappear. They know they shouldn't. They know they can't. But maybe they can try.

Aria has spent two years of her life convincing herself that her boyfriend, Brandon, is enough. He gives her enough love, enough attention, enough to keep her from being utterly alone. She ignores the jokes that hurt a little too much, the way he shuts her out when he is angry, and all the small things that she should not have to beg for. Ever since her mom passed, she has ignored obvious issues in order to avoid loneliness. Then she meets his father. Jon notices everything Brandon does not pay any mind to. Every time she gets quiet. Every time she laughs something off that clearly made her uncomfortable. Every time his son makes her think asking for the bare minimum is asking for too much. He knows that she is off limits. He knows wanting her would cross a line he has no business getting anywhere near. But the more he watches her, the more resentment builds toward his son, and the harder it becomes for him to ignore the urges he gets to show her that he could treat her so much better.
