Synopsis

I loved his best friend first. I always thought Axel Stevens and I would live happily ever after. But he’s never liked me back. His best friend though? Jacob Miller has made his feelings for me very clear. He’s the sweetest guy I know. His past is heartbreaking. And I want to make his future bright enough to make up for it. But one kiss changes everything. Maybe we were always just meant to be friends. He wants to fake date me so I can make Axel jealous. There’s just one problem with that. My feelings for Jacob aren’t fake. Every moment we spend together I fall harder. And he doesn’t. My heart is torn between what I thought I always wanted and what I think I want now. And to top it all off, I still have no freaking clue who my kiss thief is. I want it to be Jacob. Desperately. I want it to be him that’s promising to steal all my firsts. But if it is him, why does it seem like he only loves me in the darkness? I want to be loved out loud. Not just in dark closets by a kiss thief. But I can’t move forward until I know if my kiss thief is Jacob, Axel, or someone else from the football team. So I’m going to unmask him at homecoming if it’s the last thing I do.
