In the summer of 1986, sixteen-year-old Bianca Lawson moves with her family to Charlotte, North Carolina. Next door live the DaGrates-a tight-knit family with three sons, including the brooding and mysterious Devante.
At first, Bianca and Devante clash. He's guarded, she's outspoken, and neither is looking for love. But as the days grow longer, so does the pull between them. What starts as tension slowly turns into something undeniable.
A story of young love, unexpected connection, and finding your place in a new world.
