Ava thought her days of romance were behind her. As an exhausted medical intern buried in endless shifts, she barely had time to think about love—let alone act on it. Then Tyler walks into her life: an 18-year-old college freshman with a charming smile, tragic backstory, and biceps that could stop traffic.

What starts as professional care spirals into something neither of them expected. Tyler won't stop showing up with boba, snacks, and that disarming "sis" that melts her resolve. But when a drunken night crosses every line, Ava must choose: run from the chaos of dating someone half her world's age, or risk everything for the boy who's been betting on her all along.

Featuring steamy chemistry, found family vibes, and one very determined college guy who knows exactly what he wants—her.
