ABOUT

Three years since they last saw each other. Two months to untangle their complicated past. One unforgettable Italian summer.

Childhood best friends Cammie Lovett and West Jacobs haven’t spoken since their first kiss ended in disaster. Now, after getting rejected from her dream field school, Cammie is joining her renowned archaeologist mom in Italy for the summer and throwing all her restless energy into a secret mission to find her biological father. Meanwhile, West is avoiding a major life decision by—what else?—crashing his dad’s work trip abroad. When the two unwittingly find themselves at the same Italian villa, their plan to avoid each other forever crumbles like a Roman ruin.

Still, with her mom’s old journal in hand, Cammie has a single-minded focus—that immediately gets derailed when West discovers her plan and insists on accompanying her. On a second-chance adventure that takes them along the coast of Southern Italy and through the messy details of their past, Cammie and West begin to realize that maybe—just maybe—their own history isn’t quite as ancient as it seems.

STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS

Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.

The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
