The war is over. Voldemort is dead, the Death Eaters are on trial, and Theodore Nott and Mattheo Riddle are suddenly homeless, wandless, and under the Ministry's supervision. Their solution? Send them to Missouri. More specifically, to the lake house of the Muggleborn girl they've spent years flirting with at Hogwarts. At school, she's the clever, bookish Slytherin who always has a comeback ready and a book in her hand. Theo and Mattheo have spent years circling around her, flirting shamelessly without either of them ever having the nerve to actually make a move. They thought they knew her. They were wrong. Because Missouri's version of her drives boats like a maniac, races jet skis against her brothers, spends summer nights jumping off docks, and works at a lakeside restaurant in a bikini. And then there's Jake. Her childhood best friend. Her neighbor. Her built-in partner in crime. The boy who's known her since birth and has never had to ask permission to steal her sunglasses, put an arm around her, call her a ridiculous nickname, or pull her against his side. Theo and Mattheo aren't sure what's worse: That Jake has known her forever…or that he's starting to look like he might want to know her forever. Four months. One lake. Two Slytherins. One childhood best friend. And a summer where nobody is prepared for what happens when the girl they've always known becomes the girl they can't stop wanting.
