New girl in town Shyla gets more than she bargained for when she enlists her next-door neighbour, brooding, rough and covered-in-tattoos, Caden Byrnes, to help her impress her crush. 

***

Watching the cute guy two houses down was the beginning of a fresh start for Shyla. Even if nothing would come of it, a silly crush wouldn't harm anyone. Most of all, it was protecting her and her family's already damaged hearts. 

But that was before her neighbour shows up. Correction: her hot neighbour, shrouded in darkness and mystery. Shyla needs to stay away but circumstances lead her to ask him to help her revamp herself. 

Things don't go as planned which sends her spiralling into his chaotic life marred by his demons. It gets even worse when she begins to fall for him. 

Everyone knows falling for the bad boy means trouble. 

But what if trouble wants her?

Three months. Two old friends. One secret. Darla Sampson has four things on her mind: work hard to get into the college her mother wants, don't talk back to her step-father, don't overdose on her medication, ignore her heart and lock it away. But when she runs into Ronan Cruz- the first and only love of her life- the façade she had built starts to crumble. Two years ago, Ronan was Darla's best friend, the one she fell in love with, the one she destroyed, the one who blamed her for what happened two years ago, the one who made her believe in love only to break her worse than anyone ever. Told in alternative formats between her old journal and now; the young duo spent lazy summers together on their beach house, doing prank wars, soaking the night at the beach and talking to the stars, and growing and falling in love. But the present duo has turned strangers to one another until they meet by chance. Darla's mind is overshadowed by what happened two years ago but she comes to understand the truth behind Ronan's past actions while he offers her something she possibly can't refuse. A love that burns brighter than a star.
