A forbidden romance and summer of self-discovery from Selina Mae, the author of Lessons in Faking, featuring gorgeous stenciled edges and art on the inside cover.

Valentina Rhodes has spent her life trying to please everyone, always putting her own needs aside. When she realizes her brilliant university degree is still not enough for her family, she knows something has to change. She plans for the summer at Oakport Island with her best friends to change everything. Armed with a bucket list of forbidden wishes, she's finally ready to discover who she really is.

Then Caden Callahan crashes her plans.

The charismatic soccer captain wasn't supposed to be here, and he definitely wasn't supposed to move into her room. Valentina tells herself the night they shared was a one-time mistake—until she discovers he'll be a part of their friend group all summer long. Now every stolen glance and accidental touch threatens to shatter the one rule keeping their group intact: no dating friends.

Valentina knows staying away from Caden is the smart choice. The safe choice. But as she starts putting herself first for once, she faces an impossible realization: maybe standing on her own doesn't mean standing alone.
