Older (Deluxe Edition) (Special)

*The deluxe limited edition comes with printed edges*

A forbidden, age-gap romance and instant USA Today bestseller from Jennifer Hartmann, author of Still Beating.

The emotionally devastating and wildly beloved TikTok sensation readers are calling "heart-wrenching, beautiful, and completely unforgettable."

Halley is living a lie...and falling for someone she never should have met.

By day, she's just a girl trying to survive an emotionally barren home. But by night, she escapes to the quiet solitude of a lake beneath the stars. That's where she meets Reed, a brooding, kind stranger who offers her the sort of safety she's never known.

There's an unspoken connection. A shared ache neither of them can name.

But when Halley's best friend introduces her new stepdad, everything shatters.

Because that stepdad is Reed.

With a love as equally forbidden as it is all-consuming, Halley and Reed are forced to navigate a storm of secrets, guilt, and longing. As years go by and lines blur, they must decide if love is worth the risk--especially when it could destroy the only family either of them has ever known.

A haunting and hopeful story of healing, desire, and a love that refuses to be ignored.

Tropes:

• Age-gap romance
• Best friend's dad
• Forbidden love
• Grumpy/sunshine
• Slow burn
• Found family
• Healing from trauma
