She came to the summer house to disappear. To escape the pressure of being the perfect daughter, the noise of her city life, and most of all-him. Miles Romano, the boy next door who once made her feel seen, wanted, and then left her feeling like just another name on his list.
But when she arrives, she finds Miles living in the house beside hers-older, quieter, still playful, but no longer the reckless flirt she remembers. As the summer unfolds in slow mornings, golden evenings, and late-night conversations across the porch, she starts to see the truth behind his teasing smile.
He's not the same boy who played with her heart. He's the man who might still hold it-and maybe keep it.
