Avery's only goal was simple: finish school, earn her degree, and help keep her family's restaurant afloat. She knew education was her best shot at securing a stable future, but when she met Aspen, everything she thought she knew about priorities-and reality itself-began to blur. Aspen, on the other hand, had no interest in school. Trapped under the suffocating grip of her parents' control, all she wanted was freedom-to carve out her own path, away from rules and expectations. As their worlds collide, Avery and Aspen find themselves questioning what truly matters: the futures they've planned or the undeniable pull toward something neither of them expected.
