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.
