Faye Meets The Cody’s
After taking a break from college to figure out what she actually wants from life, 21-year-old Faye Whitmore decides to spend part of June with her older brother, Ethan. They’ve lived apart for years, but they’ve always stayed close.
Ethan has spent years telling Faye about the people he considers family—the Codys. Now he finally decides it’s time for her to meet them.
What Faye expects to be a simple summer visit quickly becomes something else. Smurf takes an immediate interest in her intelligence, Pope quietly studies her, J becomes curious about her, and Baz is quick to turn on the charm. Craig and Deran naturally treat her like family.
Faye isn’t nosy or looking for trouble. She keeps to herself and respects everyone’s boundaries. But the longer she stays, the harder it becomes to remain an outsider. And Ethan soon realizes his biggest problem isn’t the Cody family pulling Faye in—it’s one of his boys falling for his little sister.
