Collins

Some summers stay with you forever.Others haunt you.The summer before Johnnie's senior year was supposed to be simple.A fresh start. A quiet life with her spunky Nan. A welcome break from everything she thought she knew.Until she met them.The Combs boys next door-Campbell and Crandall, identical in face but not in spirit...and Collins.Collins, who changed everything.What began as late-night four-wheeler rides and easy conversation turned into something deeper, something neither of them was prepared for. The kind of love that feels infinite...until it isn't.Because when summer came to an end, so did everything else.It shattered.She left without a goodbye. Without an explanation. Without him.Ten years later, she returns to the place she swore she'd never see again. Forced to face loss, grief and the past she's spent a decade trying to outrun.But some things never fade-memories. Feelings.Being back means facing the yesterdays she buried and the boy she never stopped loving.How can she walk away again?How can he let her go a second time?Because the truth doesn't stay hidden forever.And this time...it might destroy them both.
