After a devastating betrayal leaves his reputation in tatters, Avery finds his life spiraling toward an unlikely destination: a mandatory ten-week stint as a summer camp counselor. Hoping to serve his penance in peace, his plans are instantly thwarted when he discovers his co-counselor is none other than Kaleb LaMothe—the very person responsible for his downfall. Forced into close quarters, the two are trapped in a cycle of icy glares and sharp-tongued banter. However, beneath the weight of their long-standing grudges, the stifling heat of the wilderness and the chaotic energy of their campers begin to erode their defenses. As the forced proximity pushes them toward unexpected vulnerability, their mutual animosity shifts into a volatile attraction that neither can ignore. *Never Will I Ever* is an emotionally charged, enemies-to-lovers romance that masterfully balances internal angst with steamy, high-stakes tension. As Avery navigates the path toward redemption and discovery, he must decide if the person he once deemed his greatest enemy might actually be the one person capable of healing his heart. Amidst secretive rendezvous and the meddling of hilarious tweens, this story explores the thin, dangerous line between "never again" and "forever."
