Some people fall in love at first sight. Blake Montrose practically declared it a full-time hobby. Rowan: Moving to a new town, a new state, was never part of my plan. Neither was living with my mom's new boyfriend and his nephew, let alone starting over at a new school and becoming the newest member of Blake Montrose's chaotic friend group. Blake is sunshine in human form. Too loud, too friendly, and somehow exactly where I always am. He remembers everything I say, carries my favorite snacks around so I don't get "hangry", and has an uncanny habit of showing up whenever I need him. It's sweet... mostly. As I slowly heal from the past and let my guard down, I find myself falling for the boy who feels like home. But between jealous classmates and buried family secrets... loving Blake might be the one thing neither of us is supposed to do. Too bad for them, Blake refuses to let me go. Blake: Rowan Hayes is mine. This story is for mature readers only. 18+. If you don't enjoy stalker-obsessive and OTT possessive romances, then this one won't be a good time for you. Blake Montrose is a golden retriever with a hidden dark side when it comes to claiming his Rowan . This is a swoony YA romance filled with found family, golden retriever boy energy, quiet girl vibes, jealous rivals, slow-burn tension, and secrets that refuse to stay buried. There will be explicit spicy scenes.
