You were inseparable once—running through the fields, laughing until your stomachs hurt, sharing secrets no one else would ever know. Ezra Kaden was your best friend, your partner in crime, the one person who truly understood you.

But that was before.

Before your fathers’ business fell apart. Before accusations flew like daggers, turning them into bitter enemies. Before your dad told you that you could ever see Ezra again.

Now you’re both 17.

Now, when you see him across town, you don’t wave. You don’t smile. You look away, pretending you were never anything at all. Because his father betrayed yours, and you can never forgive him for that.

But no matter how much you try to hate Ezra, you can’t forget the boy who once meant everything to you.
