Wild Cards

When Derek lands in small-town Illinois with his hot-mess family situation, the last person he expects to understand him is Ashtyn—a girl who's learned the hard way that people leave, so why bother letting them stay? But when she proposes a plan that could change both their futures, they'll have to take a leap of faith in each other, even though trust doesn't come easy to either of them. What starts as a risky arrangement between two guarded teens becomes something neither of them saw coming, as they discover that sometimes the most meaningful connections happen when you're brave enough to be vulnerable. This is a swoon-worthy romance about second chances, finding home in unexpected places, and realizing that the person you least expect might be exactly who you need.
