Seventeen, wild, and full of life, Y/N and Easton are just trying to survive high school while raising horses and wrangling cattle in a small Texas town where everyone knows your business. Between backyard bonfires, river dares, and friendly pasture standoffs, sparks fly between Y/N’s crew of fearless friends and Easton’s rowdy gang. With messy braids, cowboy boots, and sun-kissed days, these two navigate teasing, chores, and slow-burn feelings that might just be more than friendship.
They fell in love at fourteen, survived high school, and somehow made it to nineteen together—still holding hands, still stealing kisses in hallways. Now they’re young parents to a one-year-old whirlwind of curls and giggles named Aria—Ari, Riri, their tiny heartbeat outside their bodies. Between diaper changes, late-night feedings, and college or work, Y/N and Brandon are learning what it really means to grow up together, to love each other through exhaustion, chaos, and joy.
A family vacation in Nago-Torbole was supposed to be ordinary. Sunsets over Lake Garda, gelato runs, and endless summer days. Then she met Valerio — seventeen, dark-haired, charming, with a smile that made her heart skip. One summer, one city, and the kind of love that makes you wonder… will they meet again?
Crew learned early that home didn’t mean safety. With an absent mother, an alcoholic father, and a brother trying to hold the pieces together, survival was all he knew. Then he met Y/N. She’s steady, warm, and real—a family she loves, friends who fill her world, and a life that feels safe. Two years later, they’re inseparable. It’s quiet support, teasing touches, late-night texts, and stolen kisses. It’s navigating family, friends, and fears together.
