A summer back home brings old tensions close

K.C. Carter’s carefully ordered college life has been derailed by a mistake, and court-ordered community service sends her back to her small hometown for the summer. Next door is Jaxon Trent, a temptation she was expected to avoid in high school—and someone who has not forgotten her refusal to give him a chance. Their renewed proximity sets up a contemporary romance shaped by past rejection and present-day complications. As the two grow closer, K.C.’s effort to step out from her mother’s shadow runs alongside Jaxon’s struggle to reveal the darker parts of himself. The setup links a second-chance-at-connection dynamic with questions of independence and trust.

Book overview

From the BookTok sensation and New York Times bestselling author of Bully and Falls Boys comes the fourth novel in the Fall Away series.

He's the guy she's supposed to avoid. She's the girl he won't let get away....

K. C. Carter has always followed the rules--until this year, when a mistake leaves her the talk of her college campus and her carefully arranged life comes crashing to a halt. Now she's stuck in her small hometown for the summer to complete her court-ordered community service, and to make matters worse, trouble is living right next door.

Jaxon Trent is the worst kind of temptation and exactly what K.C. was supposed to stay away from in high school. But he never forgot her. She was the one girl who wouldn't give him the time of day and the only one to ever say no. Fate has brought K.C. back into his life--except what he thought was a great twist of luck turns out to be too close for comfort. As they grow closer, he discovers that convincing K.C. to get out from her mother's shadow is hard, but revealing the darkest parts of his soul is nearly impossible....
