📚 Book 3 of a completed 3-book series
Peggy Clarkson is back in town with a mission: remind Elliott Brooks exactly what he lost when she walked away three years ago. But the moment she steps back into his world, the electric chemistry that once consumed them both comes roaring back—and her carefully planned revenge fantasy starts to crumble. Elliott has spent years building a fortress around his heart to focus on football, but Peggy's return threatens to demolish every wall he's constructed. When the girl he could never forget becomes a woman he can't resist, they'll both have to decide if some connections are worth risking everything for.
Reading soundtrack
Intense, unresolved tension meets contemporary romance. Build with sultry R&B, indie rock with edge, and pop songs about reclaiming power. Think confident vocals, electric guitar, and beats that pulse with longing and determination. Moody yet empowering.
