When college-aged Ava Carter escapes to her best friend's house for the summer, she expects sunshine and silence, and not temptation. Brian Hale, her best friend's formidable father, is everything she shouldn't want, and powerful, guarded, and untouchable. Drawn into a dangerous orbit of stolen moments and unspoken warnings, Ava finds herself navigating secret meetings, watchful eyes, and the thrill of nearly being discovered. As buried truths surface and reputations hang in the balance, their forbidden connection sparks a chain of risks, and late-night drives, fractured loyalties, and choices that could destroy them both. In a summer of heat and consequence, Ava must decide what she's willing to lose for desire.
