Love me wrong (hmbw)

A'Jai thought the hardest part of loving Rio was being thousands of miles away. She was wrong.

After spending months falling for each other through late-night FaceTimes, voice notes, and endless texts, eighteen-year-old A'Jai finally leaves Houston for a study-abroad program in London.

Alongside her best friend, Vale, she's ready for a fresh start, new experiences, and the chance to finally meet Rio-the boy she's been in love with from across an ocean.

But real life isn't as simple as a screen.

Dropped into Rio's world of loyal friends, complicated history, messy parties, jealous girls, and secrets she was never meant to know, A'Jai quickly realizes that loving Rio in person is a lot more complicated than loving him from afar.

In a city full of new beginnings, she must figure out who she can trust, where she belongs, and whether her relationship can survive the truth.

Because sometimes the person you love the most can love you wrong.
