When Summer Met September (On Hold)

Mahlia Mondragon doesn't believe she's hiding from the world--she's just happier in it when she's curled up with a book. As a proud bookworm and self-proclaimed nerd, she's perfected the art of staying out of drama and the spotlight. Her boyfriend, who shares her quiet routines, has been her constant since eighth grade, giving her life a sense of steady, unshakable certainty.

But when his betrayal shatters her picture-perfect summer plans, Mahlia is left reeling and forced to spend the summer with her family at their vacation home in Arizona.

Enter Landon Hayes--charming, confident, and completely off-limits. As the star quarterback of her high school's fiercest rival and someone who already has a girlfriend, he's the last person Mahlia wants in her life. Their paths collide at a desert party, and it's anything but love at first sight. Landon's cocky demeanor and flirtatious charm immediately rub her the wrong way, and Mahlia is determined to leave him--and the summer--behind.

As senior year begins, Mahlia rekindles her relationship with her ex, convinced it's the right way to restore the stability she craves. But Landon keeps crossing her path in ways she didn't expect, forcing her to confront not just him, but the cracks in her carefully constructed world.

Mahlia is a cautious bookworm, and Landon is a confident quarterback from a rival world. They couldn't be more different. Yet their intertwined fates may rewrite everything Mahlia thought she knew about herself, forcing her to choose between the safe story she's always known and the bold, unpredictable chapter waiting to be written.
