Never Will I Ever by Ce Ricci (Paperback)

A single betrayal is enough to change everything. After his life begins to unravel, he is forced to face the consequences of past mistakes in a way he never expected. What should have been a step forward quickly turns into a setback, sending him away to spend the summer in an unfamiliar and unwelcome place.

Ten weeks at a summer camp feels like punishment in itself. Tasked with managing a group of kids, he is already out of his depth. The situation becomes even more difficult when he comes face to face with Kaleb LaMothe—the teammate whose actions played a part in his downfall.

Sharing responsibilities means there is no escape from the tension between them. Old wounds remain fresh, and neither is willing to forget what happened. Every interaction is charged, shaped by mistrust and unresolved anger.

Yet, as the weeks pass, the distance between them begins to shift. Forced proximity reveals sides of each other neither expected to see. Beneath the resentment lies something more complicated, pulling them into a connection that neither planned nor fully understands.

Set against the backdrop of summer camp life, this story explores how rivalry, regret, and shared experiences can blur the line between conflict and attraction, leaving both characters questioning what they really want.
