Perfect for you if...

You love messy love triangles where the tension comes from genuine feelings on all sides, not just surface-level drama.
You're drawn to protagonists who break free from strict upbringings and discover who they actually are away from home.
You enjoy contemporary romance with real stakes where choices have actual consequences for relationships.

Maybe not for you if...

You need closure and happy endings wrapped up neatly. This is book one of a series, and Harper's conflict isn't resolved by the final page.
You prefer romance where there's a clear villain. Everyone here has understandable motivations, which makes things more complicated than cathartic.
You're looking for a slow-burn romance. This book moves fast and makes you sit with uncomfortable feelings rather than ease you in.

About this book

Eighteen-year-old Harper begins her first year at San Diego State University after growing up under her career-Marine father's strict control. She is eager to experience life on her own terms and explore things beyond her sheltered upbringing. During her first year, Harper becomes romantically involved with two men: Brandon, who becomes her boyfriend, and Chase, her roommate's brother. Chase is tattooed, fights in the Underground, and is physically imposing—the type of person Harper was warned against. As Harper develops feelings for both men, she must navigate a difficult choice that will alter the course of her college experience and personal life.
