Now, at eighteen, Jade is counting down the days until her exams are over, excited to spend a stress-free summer with her boyfriend, her two best friends, and her forever family.

And when she catches the eye of Lucas Coleman, the eldest of the brothers, it's only a matter of time before she falls. Only one question remains: Which way will she land?
