Kennedy Sterling does not believe in second chances
Not after Reese Calloway walked away from four years of loving her and left Kennedy to figure out how to survive with half a heart and too many unanswered questions
It took Kennedy a year and a half to become someone who could breathe without her
Then Kai Brooks happened
Cocky, patient, dangerous in all the ways Kennedy should have known better than to want
Kai makes her feel wanted without making her feel trapped
And Kennedy hates how badly she wants to let her in
Then Reese comes back
Now Kennedy has to help rehab the girl who broke her heart while trying not to look at her like she never stopped loving her

Reese Calloway told herself she had no choice
Leaving Kennedy was supposed to protect a secret big enough to destroy everything her family had built
So she did the one thing she knew Kennedy would never forgive her for
She left first
But loving someone does not stop just because you are the one who ran
And now Reese is back at UNC, sitting on Kennedy Sterling's training table, pretending she can survive being touched by the girl she never stopped wanting
Kennedy looks at her like she is the worst thing that ever happened to her
Reese cannot even blame her

Kai Brooks does not usually chase girls this long
She likes attention, the almost, the moment before someone gives in and admits they want her
But Kennedy was never that simple
Kennedy made Kai wait
Made her work
Made her want something that did not end the second she won it
And for the first time, Kai is starting to wonder if maybe settling down does not sound like a trap when it is with the right girl
⛧ ✦ ⛧ ✦ ⛧
Two girls want Kennedy Sterling
One broke her
One makes her want to try again
And Kennedy is stuck between the girl she never got over and the girl who refuses to let her run
