"I've watched her choose everyone else for fifteen years. I'm done being the backup friend."
Capri and Dom have been inseparable since they were eight years old. To the world, they are the perfect duo: the girl who sees the best in everyone and the boy who would burn the world down to keep her safe. But behind Dom's protective scowl lies a decade of buried longing and a possessiveness that is starting to crack his "best friend" facade.
When they head to a secluded beach house for a three-week summer break, the arrival of a new face, George, shifts the tides. As George moves in on the girl Dom has claimed in his heart for a decade, the "chill" summer turns into a battlefield of high stakes, bruised knuckles, and shattered trust.
In a house filled with secrets, wet sand, and midnight confessions, Capri is forced to realize that her "brotherly" best friend is anything but.
Dom is tired of waiting. He's tired of being the shadow. And this summer, he's making sure Capri finally sees the man standing right in front of her-no matter who he has to break to do it.
"Tell me to stop, Capri. Tell me you want me to be 'just a brother' again, and I'll walk away. But we both know you're lying."
