When a sweet, unassuming girl and a charming football hero reconnect after years apart, the spark between them reignites with undeniable intensity—but they're not the same people they once were. Luna has learned to stand on her own two feet, while Knight discovers that being everyone's hero doesn't mean you can save yourself. This is a story about first loves that test us, secrets that fracture us, and the kind of connection that lingers long after the final page, bittersweet and real. If you love romance that doesn't shy away from the messy, complicated parts of caring about someone, this emotional journey will absolutely wreck you in the best way.
