18 parts Ongoing MatureAva Lee Silva's summer routine was simple: survive her older brother's endless teasing, try not to spiral over her insecurities, and-definitely-not fall for her brother's ridiculously good-looking best friend, Cole-Maverick Walker. Because there was no way she stood a chance. Cole was tall, confident, and annoyingly perfect. And he only had eyes for other girls. So, Ava kept her crush a secret, buried under layers of sarcasm and the chaos of growing up.
But then, a few years later, fate has other plans. Ava's at university, trying to avoid her complicated past-especially Cole, who's suddenly looking at her like she's not just Jack's little sister anymore. And Cole? He's definitely not immune to her charm now that she's not a teenager anymore. The sparks between them are undeniable, and the tension? Off. The. Charts.
But with jealousy bubbling under the surface, old insecurities resurfacing, and their lives in totally different places, can they really make this work? Or will the weight of her past-and his complicated history with love-destroy whatever this is before it even starts?
First love, explosive chemistry, a whole lot of secrets, and more than a few "I can't believe they just did that" moments. This is a love story that'll make you laugh, swoon, and maybe even throw your book across the room when things get a little too hot to handle.
