Anaya Reed has her future planned down to the minute. As a nursing student and captain of Blackthorne University's women's soccer team, she's determined to graduate at the top of her class. Love has never been part of the plan-and neither have distractions. Julian Ashford isn't a distraction. He's Blackthorne University's golden-boy lacrosse captain, admired by everyone on campus. Confident, patient, and impossible to ignore. The only problem? He's been quietly falling for Anaya long before she ever learned his name. When fate finally pushes them into each other's orbit, Julian has a choice: keep loving her from a distance or risk everything for the girl who's never looked his way. And Anaya must decide whether chasing the future she's always planned is worth overlooking the one person who's been there all along. Because sometimes... The greatest love story isn't the one you were searching for. It's the one waiting in your blind spot.
