Brann and I grew up together on Wilder Island, a small town in coastal Virginia. We were friends for so long that I don’t even remember meeting him. He was just always there by my side, as predictable and steady as the ocean waves. The two of us were inseparable all the way through high school, but when I decided to go to a distant college, things changed. We began drifting apart, and I haven’t spoken to him in three years. But now it’s senior year, and the two of us will finally be back together on the same campus. We’re even going to be roommates. Things are weird and awkward between us, but I’m determined to rebuild our friendship. Somehow or other, we’ll put the past three years of silence behind us. Somehow, we’ll work it out and go back to being friends. The only problem is, I’m starting to discover that just being friends with Brann isn’t quite enough… College friends-to-lovers romance, 64,000 words. Part 1 of the Wild and Wilder series. This book has an emotionally satisfying HFN (happily for now) ending.
