He's hardworking, polite, and determined-doing his best to succeed in school while aiming for a brighter future. Troy grinds every day with a singular focus on basketball, dreaming of turning his final year into a Division I college scholarship. Then there's Summer-the rich girl from Hidden Hills. She's fun, outgoing, and carefree, living with both her parents. She's used to getting everything she wants and hasn't been prepared for responsibility. When their worlds collide at a party, sparks fly. What begins as innocent flirting quickly evolves into something more... something neither of them is ready for. Soon, they're hit with a surprise: an unplanned pregnancy. One night of adult decisions leaves them breathless, nine months later, facing a world that won't slow down. Troy is forced to "man up" and shoulder responsibilities he never asked for. His dreams of a scholarship and college are now tangled in the complexities of real life.

They fall into an on-again, off-again relationship-complicated, messy, and painful. At one point, one of them even enters another relationship while still in high school.

It does have around 40 chapters so it might not seem like it. But trust me that it is.] ||Full Disclosure|| I started the book in the end of 8th grade so it needs MAJOR editing. It also does have Sexual Chapters, as well as people of the same sex being together, murder, brutally torture talk of rape and sexual harassment. So if you do not wish to read things like that then this unfortunately isn't the book for you. ||You Have Been Warned|| First book in the Heart series. •Do Not Copy This Book In Anyway•Complete
