"Do you really think I'd be here with you unless I had no other choice?" I snap at him, my voice full of fire.

He lowers his calm blue eyes to meet mine. Always able to keep his cool. "Ditto, sweetheart."

Ana Barkley has never been a cry baby, so when her mother dies unexpectedly and her father sends her away to college, she does her best to hold onto her tough exterior. Being forced to spend time with Aiden, the English tutor she didn't ask for, is the last thing she needs. 

Aiden Harper lives beneath the heavy weight of self-accusation he carries, due to a tragedy that happened years back. Then suddenly there's Ana, the girl who gets on his nerves. She confuses him and manages to irritate him with her attitude of extreme independence and indifference. 

But will he look a little deeper to see that her heart is bigger than her sarcasm? And will she find that, for all his antics, he alone manages to soften her shell?

A first impression is not always the only chance you get...

❝ I don't have time to waste thinking about a boy who will only destroy my future,❞ I say getting closer to him with every word, maybe a little too close. I feel his breath fanning my face.

Being the first in a Latinx family comes with more pressure and stress than usual, something Mariana is used to.

"You have no idea how badly I want to make love to you," he responds with a shake of his head. "I love you so much," he continues and my heart melts. "I love you," I whisper back. "Okay, I'm going to make love to you now, Angel. It will hurt a little, so let me know if it hurts too much," he says and leans down to kiss me. "I'll be gentle," he tells me. Keeping his eyes locked on mine he shifts his hips forward slightly and enters inside of me. My mouth widens as he enters, and I feel a slight pinch. He was right, it does hurt, but it's not terrible. "Christ! You're the sun!" he calls out. I watch his face crumble. He buries his face in my neck and then he's above me again, his hands on my cheeks again. ... For 20 year old Alison Scott, love was never something she deemed herself worthy of.

[BOOK 1] "I won't leave" I whisper, and he smiles, "I know, baby" he says softly, and my lips tug upwards into a smile. "You're the exception" he continued, his tone tender as he pressed a short, sweet kiss to my forehead. I didn't know it then, but I started falling in love with Finn Brookes, we were each other's exceptions. * * * Lily Garcia didn't come to university looking for love-especially not with someone like Finn Brooks. He's charming, infuriating, and a walking complication she doesn't need. But no matter how hard she tries to keep her distance, there's something about him that feels like gravity, pulling her closer with every encounter. Beneath his cocky exterior, she senses the fractures he tries to hide-the same ones she's been running from her entire life. Finn's been through hell, and love isn't part of the plan. He's good at keeping his walls high, locking out anyone who might get too close. But then Lily shows up, and suddenly his carefully controlled life begins to unravel. She's everything he didn't know he was missing, and that scares him more than he's willing to admit. But with their pasts threatening to destroy what they could be, and old friends trying to drive a wedge between them, trust becomes their biggest hurdle. And when a new love interest steps into the picture, everything Lily and Finn thought they were building starts to fall apart. Fighting their demons was never supposed to include each other, but now they have to decide if the risk of heartbreak is worth the reward of finally letting someone in.
