Boston Rawlings knows how to survive.
Keep his head down. Work hard. Protect the people he loves.And never, ever let himself want something he can’t have.
Especially not Skye Monroe.
For as long as Skye can remember, Boston has been there—the boy next door who knew her before she knew herself. They grew up side by side, close enough to touch, yet somehow always just out of reach. Whatever it was that hummed between them, they never let themselves be more than childhood friends—not when Skye’s gilded world and Boston’s reality couldn’t have been more different.And then one day, he was gone.
No warning. No goodbye. No trace.
Two years should have been enough time for Skye to stop wondering. After all, her future is already waiting for her: a boyfriend who comes from the right kind of family and a life mapped out exactly the way it’s supposed to be.
She's almost convinced herself she's happy.
But then Boston returns. Harder. Quieter. Impossible to ignore. And no matter how determined they are to stay apart, they can’t seem to outrun the pull between them.
He left to protect what he loved. Now he's back for the same reason—with nothing to his name but painful choices and a dangerous kind of hope that looks a lot like Skye Monroe.
The closer Skye gets to the truth, the more she realizes falling for Boston means risking everything she’s ever known. And for the first time, Skye is asking herself a question nobody ever taught her how to answer: What if the life she’s supposed to want isn’t what she wants at all?
