June First

Brant grows up in a world shaped by tragedy. In the wreckage of it, he finds a purpose in June, a girl he is never supposed to love.

As the years pass, he stays at her side through her milestones, her happy stretches and her grief. His devotion begins as innocent and steady. Slowly it turns into something deeper and more dangerous, a feeling neither of them can go on ignoring.

This is a contemporary romance in the forbidden, taboo vein, and it builds slowly. The tension sits in the narrow gap between protecting someone and wanting them, and between loyalty and longing. Brant and June are drawn together by a bond that has been growing for most of their lives.

Reading it means settling into an emotional, heavy-hearted story that takes its time. The attachment between the two grows out of long closeness rather than a sudden spark, and the stakes are the rules that keep them apart and what it costs to break them.
