Lakeside

Nathan is the one person Ava loves to hate. For six years, she's battled his teasing, arrogance, and his constant need to push her buttons, all while secretly fighting the undeniable pull he has on her.

When Nathan lets it slip he's been into Ava for a while, it's impossible for her to ignore. The simmering attraction between them suddenly erupts into something far more complicated than either of them can handle.

Caught between their explosive chemistry and the fear of betraying Jack-Ava's older brother and Nathan's best friend-they face a dilemma: Can they act on their growing desire without destroying the trust of the one person who means the most to them?

The lake becomes their secret haven, where heated arguments give way to stolen kisses and passionate encounters. But with every meeting, the line between love and lust blurs, and Ava and Nathan must face the truth: their feelings might be deeper than physical attraction.

But secrets come with a price. How long can they hide their passion from Jack, who trusts Nathan like a brother and has sacrificed everything for Ava? As their forbidden romance deepens, they must decide if what they share is worth the pain it could cause or if they can find a way to make Jack accept them.
