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 during that time, 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, and 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?

Nolan Payne, wide receiver for the Camden Knights, isn’t looking for anything serious. His focus is on football and convincing his sister and her roommates that his moving in was a good idea. Hadley Foster is facing the toughest challenge of her college career: public speaking. It’s her kryptonite but a requirement for her future role with her family’s company, so she’s intent on overcoming her fear. And public speaking just so happens to be her new roommate’s strong suit. And that’s not all Nolan’s good at. Their attraction turns into temptation, and they find a way not to break the house rules: friends with benefits. Technically, they’re not dating. But as their feelings progress into something beyond casual, will they be ready to risk taking a new route?
