Perfect for you if...

You crave slow-burn romances where emotional tension builds over years and the forbidden nature of the connection makes every moment feel urgent.
You're drawn to characters shaped by trauma and loss who find healing through an unexpected bond, even when society says it's wrong.
You loved Still Beating and want more of Hartmann's ability to make you feel gut-wrenching conflict alongside genuine tenderness.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer romance with a clear, uncomplicated moral foundation where the couple faces no internal ethical doubts about their relationship.
You're uncomfortable with age-gap relationships or stories that explore the blurred lines between caretaker and romantic partner.
You need lighter, feel-good romance without heavy themes of grief, responsibility, or characters working through complicated family dynamics.

About this book

June First is an emotional contemporary romance novel by Jennifer Hartmann, author of Still Beating. The story centers on Brant, whose world was shaped by tragedy. In that broken world, he found his purpose in June—a girl he was never meant to love. He has been by her side through every milestone, joy, and sorrow. As the years pass, his innocent devotion transforms into something deeper and dangerous that neither can ignore. The novel explores the line between protection and passion, loyalty and longing, through a slow-burn romance about forbidden love that defies rules and changes everything.
