Xiamara Nivar and Apollo Fischer shared a perfect childhood friendship, and Xia always believed they’d easily transition to something more. But when it came to love, they were a total disaster. After Apollo left for college, promising he’d return, Xia foolishly waited… but he never came back. Seven years later, she's over it. With a successful career, a tight-knit group of friends, and a fierce competitive spirit, Xia’s focus is on winning this year’s Moss Monster Meet. That is, until Apollo returns to the small island of Simona—and throws her whole world off course.

The Moss Boss title is within reach—if she can survive him being back in her life. When they’re forced to compete side by side, Xia can’t hide her feelings—or her nerves.
