He doesn't say my name anymore. He used to whisper it like a promise, like I was the future written in the stars. We used to dream the same dreams, hold the same broken pieces of each other. He once told me I was his "always." But that was before her. Before the girl who came after me and took everything I was still holding on to-the smile I used to cause, the arms that once only reached for me. And the worst part? He let her. He let her walk into the home I helped him build in his heart, and he never looked back. Now I am a secret. A silence. A name he flinches at when remembered-if I'm remembered at all. This isn't a love story. This is what comes after. After the promises are broken. After someone new takes your place. After the person you loved forgets you existed. This is the story of a girl who loved too deeply... And died quietly in someone else's happy ending.

When Willa James transfers to Charleston University to hit reset, the last thing she expects is to end up roommates with Beau Montgomery. He's quiet, broody, and fiercely private, but there's something about him that draws her in. Over shared takeout, sarcastic debates, and late-night Netflix marathons, Willa slowly chips away at his walls. And soon, the silence between them starts to feel like home. What Willa doesn't know is that Beau Montgomery, Charleston's golden-gloved outfielder, is still reeling from the rift that tore his family in half-and that his fraternal twin brother, Colton, was the spark that lit the fire. And Colt? He's the same guy Willa had a searing, anonymous one-night stand with over the summer at a music festival in Tennessee. No first or last names. No expectations. Just a night she still can't forget. She never thought she'd see him again-until he walks into Beau's condo and back into her life. Beau doesn't know about the night Willa spent with Colt. And Colt doesn't realize that the girl who's suddenly part of his fraternal twin brother's world is his Willa. Torn between the brother who's been her anchor and the one who set her soul on fire, Willa is forced to reckon with what it means to truly love-and what happens when the heart wants two impossible things at once.
