Pearl Torres Frank has spent her life playing it safe—the perfect daughter, the dutiful student—but when she comes home for the summer between college and med school, all of that changes the moment she reconnects with Boyce Wynn, the wild, dangerous guy who shouldn't be anything more than a fantasy. He's everything her carefully controlled life warns her against: rebellious, unapologetic, and utterly magnetic—but beneath that rough exterior, there's a tenderness he only shows her. As the summer unfolds and their chemistry becomes impossible to ignore, Pearl finds herself torn between the responsible future she's always planned and the passionate, unpredictable present Boyce represents. This is a swoon-worthy second-chance romance about discovering that the person who seems wrong for you might actually be exactly what you need.
