About this book

When a call pulls Bianca back into the orbit of her former best friend—now the NFL's most electrifying starting quarterback—she has to confront the ghost of who they used to be and the feelings she never quite buried. Zac Travis might be "Big Texas" to millions of fans, but she remembers the skinny kid with the golden heart who somehow slipped out of her life years ago. As their reconnection deepens, the line between rekindling a friendship and admitting something far more complicated becomes increasingly blurred. This is a slow-burn journey about second chances, the vulnerability it takes to let someone back in, and discovering that sometimes the person you're meant to be with was there all along.

“Create a playlist called Hands Down. Warm indie-pop and soulful R&B for rekindling what never really died—nostalgic yet electric, tender yet charged. Think acoustic vulnerability layered with modern groove. Soft confessions wrapped in confident energy. The feeling of remembering someone you never forgot.”
