Book Blurb:

The kids are growing up—different from their parents, but the same in all the dangerous, magnetic ways…

ARO
Hawken Trent. Polite. Clean-cut. Sweet.
A virgin, or so they say. The golden boy who never steps out of line.
So of course, he thinks he can stand between me and what I want.
He calls me irrational. A criminal. A bully.
Let him. I’ve been called worse—and I’ve survived worse.
He doesn’t know what it means to fight for survival.
But he’s about to learn.

HAWKE
I surprised her.
She expected weakness. But just because I’ve never been caught doesn’t mean I’m innocent.
And now, we’re in too deep.
A crime.
A chase.
A hiding place in a forgotten speakeasy beneath the town’s old bakery.
Locked inside together, we have nothing but time—and nowhere to run from what’s growing between us.

She’s trouble.
Tough. Gritty.
The kind of girl who could ruin me—or be the reason I finally break free.

And this place? It has secrets.
Because this isn’t just a speakeasy.
It’s Carnival Tower.
