Summary

Hudson McKinley, starting quarterback for the Camden Knights, is preparing for the most crucial season of his college career when a familiar stranger returns, and his entire world gets turned upside down—or possibly, right side up.

Evelyn Watts spent every summer of her childhood in Oleander Springs, escaping the orderly confines of her life and submerging herself into the chaos and fun found there. But those summers ended four years ago, and since then, new plans were paved—ones that required focus, discipline, and a new ending that didn't involve Oleander Springs... Until she drove those plans off the rails.

Now Evelyn's back in Oleander Springs, Hudson's no longer looking at her like she's just a friend, and she realizes that childhood crushes evolve into adult fantasies.

It was supposed to be a temporary return, but are they ready to make a play for more?

USA Today bestselling author Mariah Dietz will have you swooning, laughing, and staying up late to finish this childhood friends-to-lovers sports romance!
