When a clumsy coffee shop encounter with the charming, flirty August Moore leaves you flustered, you never expect him to ask you out—especially not when you're completely inexperienced and he's got a notorious reputation as a love-'em-and-leave-'em cowboy. But August has other ideas, and he's more than willing to be your patient, deliciously filthy teacher as you both discover what could happen under the stars. With his irresistible southern drawl and those weak-in-the-knees good looks, he makes you feel things you never expected, but the question that keeps you up at night is whether his reputation will break your heart. This sexy, sweet prequel will have you believing in second chances and first love all over again.

“Create a playlist called August. Sultry country vibes meet indie romance—think languid twang, slow-burn tension, and sensual undertones. Pair outlaw country swagger with dreamy indie-pop and soulful R&B. Include artists like Colter Wall, Hozier, and Daniel Caesar. Atmospheric, patient yearning with heat simmering beneath.”
