When grief threatens to swallow her whole after losing her first love in a tragic accident, she's barely holding it together—until Mason, a devoted quarterback with a heart as big as his dreams, quietly becomes her anchor. He's there for every late-night breakdown and morning after, asking for nothing but the chance to be more than just her shoulder to cry on. But she's terrified that loving him means asking him to choose between her and the football career he's sacrificed everything for, so she builds walls he's determined to scale. This is a beautifully tender second-chance-at-love story about discovering that sometimes the person meant to heal your heart was there all along, waiting patiently for you to be brave enough to let them in.
