About this book
When a charming hockey star with a hidden struggle meets a lonely tutor searching for genuine connection, their late-night study sessions become so much more than biology lessons. Freddy's confident exterior masks battles with learning disabilities and self-doubt, while Ro's desperate attempts to convince herself she's content mask a deeper longing for real affection—and somehow, in helping each other, they become exactly what the other needs. As friendship blooms into something neither expected, they'll discover that being truly loved means being seen for who you really are, flaws and all. This is a tender, understanding romance about two people learning that sometimes the person who shows up for you in your darkest moments becomes your greatest joy.
