Some people fall in love slowly. Santiago Santos fell in love kicking and screaming. At sixteen, Santiago has a reputation everyone knows. Star football player. Life of the party. The boy who can make anyone laugh. The boy who never stays with the same girl for long. He tells himself relationships aren't worth it. He tells himself people always leave eventually. He tells himself he likes being free. Then there's Zaliyah Johnson. Quiet where he's loud. Gentle where he's reckless. The kind of girl who spends afternoons painting flower pots, baking for her friends, and seeing beauty in things everyone else overlooks. She's everything Santiago isn't. And somehow, she becomes the only person he can't stop thinking about. As their friendship grows, so do feelings neither of them expected. But while Zaliyah is searching for something real, Santiago is still running from commitment, hiding behind flirtatious smiles and girls who mean nothing. The closer they become, the more it hurts. Because loving Santiago Santos is easy. Trusting him is not. And for the first time in his life, Santiago has to decide whether he's willing to stop running before he loses the one person who makes him want to stay.
