For the First Time (Paige Point Series)

Tess Daniels thought she was broken.

Home for the summer after a year away in New York, her small Wyoming town knows her business better than she does. Tess has always assumed her lack of interest in boys meant something was missing in her. Love, desire, that spark everyone else seems to talk about, it’s never belonged to her.

Until one bonfire changes everything.

Katy Werner is new to town, with a confidence and blue eyes that Tess can’t seem to look away from. One shared glance becomes a current Tess doesn’t know how to name, let alone fight. Because wanting Katy doesn’t just rewrite what Tess thought she knew about herself…it threatens everything else. Her family. Her friendships. Her place in a town that watches everything, judges everyone, and never forgets a single thing.

Katy knows better than to hope. She’s learned how quickly small towns turn dangerous when you don’t fit. But Tess, with her curiosity, her honesty, and the way she looks at Katy like the world just tilted, makes walking away harder than staying. And some loves, once sparked, refuse to be put out.

Set in the 1990s against wide skies, dirt roads, and whispered rules, For the First Time is a relatable, slow-burn sapphic romance about first love, finding yourself, and how the right arms won’t let go.

Some love stories don’t fade.

They learn to live in the dark.
