Rocky thought his first summer on the island would change everything.
For a while, it did. He had friends, a team, and a place where he finally felt like he belonged. But by the time his second summer arrives, everything has fallen apart. Fights that have shattered the friendship that once meant everything to him. Rocky keeps everyone at a distance, haunted by memories of the place he once called home.
Then the new recruits arrive.
Zuma is warm, easygoing, and impossible not to like. Skye is determined to break through Rocky's walls, whether he likes it or not. Slowly, the lonely summer Rocky expected begins to change.
When a mission goes terribly wrong, and their lives hang in the balance, Rocky is forced to confront everything he's been avoiding: the anger and the regret.
Because sometimes the hardest thing is saying what you should have said before it's too late.
