20 parte Ongoing MatureFive years after high school, Josephine Matthews finally feels like she's putting her life back together. She's just moved into a charming townhouse after a messy breakup and started a new chapter as a high school English teacher. But the last thing she expects is to find herself living across the street from him.
Connor Fox-the brunette heartbreaker who ruled her teenage years-is still as devastatingly handsome as ever. Back then, he was her first crush, her first kiss, her first...everything. But he was also her first heartbreak. He kept her a secret, played with her feelings, and left her chasing dreams of a future he never meant to give her.
Now, Connor has a girlfriend and has stepped into the role of a doting father figure to her two kids. He's the picture of maturity and stability-or so it seems. Josie tells herself she's over him, but one harmless Instagram message turns into a rekindled connection. Friendly chats become late-night texts. Innocent memories spiral into forbidden rendezvous.
Soon, Josie and Connor are back to their old games, sneaking around and hiding their passionate affair from everyone: Josie's family, who remembers her teenage heartbreak all too well, and Connor's picture-perfect new life. The stakes are higher now, but the pull between them is just as intense, and Josie finds herself questioning if he'll ever truly change-or if she's destined to repeat her biggest mistake.
