Some people change you
the moment you meet them.
South Carolina • 1990s Nostalgia • Slow-Burn College Romance • Found Family • Emotional Intimacy
Shelby Marsh has spent eighteen years becoming exactly who her mother wanted her to be.
College is her first real chance to decide who she wants to become.
Tanner Cole has built his life around discipline, certainty, and a future he can't afford to lose.
The connection between them is immediate and terrifying in completely different ways.
Walking away should be easy. It isn't.
