You came to the beach for a fun getaway with your friends—late nights, loud music, and no responsibilities waiting for you back home. Falling for a local boy was never part of the plan. Especially not one who spends his nights playing music with his brothers, lighting up bonfires, and making the town feel smaller every time he looks at you. What starts as harmless flirting turns into sneaking away from your friends, stolen kisses under the stars, and moments that feel too real for something that’s supposed to be temporary. But summer always ends, and when it does, you’re forced to say goodbye to a boy who was never meant to be just a vacation memory.
Maverick was your secret boyfriend but also your enemy? You and him hated each other’s guts until one night when everything changed. He would often visit your window to torment you and one night you kissed him to shut him up. That night was last night.
