Innocent 1: Simone

Simone, a recent graduate, plans a summer of painting and caring for her ailing great-aunt, but her summer takes an unexpected turn when she encounters Terry, a rugged lawn care worker. As their worlds collide—from art galleries to garden renovations—they navigate differences in social status and past relationships, exploring what it truly means to find love and redefine themselves. This coming-of-age contemporary romance follows two young adults in their early twenties as they learn about love, life, and the possibilities that lie beyond their initial expectations.
