Ana-
I never expected to fall for someone like Knox—overconfident, a flirt, the kind of man who walks into a room and owns it without even trying. He saw through every wall I put up, pushed every button I had, and made me feel things I wasn’t ready for. Every moment with him was electric. Addicting. But just when I let myself believe in us, life had other plans.
Knox—
Losing baseball broke me. It wasn’t just a game—it was my future, my identity, the only thing I’d ever wanted. When it was ripped away, I stopped believing in anything, least of all myself. But then came Ana. She didn’t try to fix me. She saw me—all the shattered, angry, lost pieces—and somehow, without even meaning to, she stitched me back together.
Losing her once nearly destroyed me. Losing her again? Not an option. I’ve already let go of one dream. I won’t let go of her.

Fall in Love again.
Meet Blake & Luke.
Blake-
I thought I was done with love. After one disastrous one-night stand, I’m convinced I’ve lost myself somewhere between broken promises and bad decisions. I swore off men altogether, telling myself I didn’t need anyone. But fate has a way of laughing at our plans. Just when I’m getting used to the idea of being alone, I crash into him. Luke. My best friend’s older brother. The guy I’ve always secretly loved but could never have. He's older, and way out of my league. I can't go back to that hopeless place, but it seems that every time I turn around, there he is, looking at me like I'm everything he's been waiting for. But I can't break that rule. Even if it breaks me.
Luke-
I’ve spent years wanting her, knowing I couldn’t have her. Blake. My little sister’s best friend. The one girl I could never touch, no matter how much I wanted to. Now she’s back in my life, and fate’s not making it easy. She falls into my arms—literally—and I can see the broken pieces of her, pieces I’ve always wanted to fix. She’s pushing me away, but I can’t help it. I’ve wanted her for too long, and now she’s here. I’m not letting her go without a fight, no matter how many rules I have to break. But I can't walk away, not this time.
Content Warning:
Before you step into this story, I want you to know that it holds deep emotions, messy love, and characters who are trying to heal in their own imperfect ways. Throughout their journey, you’ll find angst and emotional pain tied to both past and present heartbreak, as well as the complicated process of learning to trust and love again.
This book also explores intimacy, including sexual exploration with toys, as the characters discover themselves and each other in new ways. There is a physical altercation between two characters, moments shaped by grief and loss, and family conflict that makes love feel both fragile and fiercely worth fighting for.
If any of these themes are tender spots for you, please take care of yourself as you read. This story is filled with love, resilience, and healing—but only you know what feels right for your heart. No matter what, you are not alone.
