One summer. One rule. One man she was never supposed to fall for twice.
Willow's new college roommate has one rule: Don't date her brother.
Easy enough... until she realizes he's the man from her unforgettable summer in Italy.
What was meant to be a carefree, no-strings-attached fling beneath the Italian sun turns into something far more complicated when Willow starts college and discovers her mystery man is now completely off-limits. Maverick-her roommate's older brother, her secret summer flame, and the guy everyone warns her about.
He says he's changed. That she's different. That what they had was real.
But with friendships on the line and a heart already tangled in what-if's, Willow isn't sure she can trust him-or herself.
Because falling for him once was reckless.
Falling for him again might ruin everything.
