HANDLEBARS
Kristina never expected to fall for Sir Lopez, her sharp-witted yet infuriatingly charming clinical instructor. But attraction had always simmered beneath their sarcastic exchanges and stolen glances-a line neither of them dared to cross. Until after graduation, when Lopez asked her out, and Kristina took the leap.
What started as a fun, chaotic, laughter-filled romance quickly turned into something deeper, something neither of them could fully control. But love, like riding a bike, requires balance-and Kristina had always gripped the handlebars too tightly.
When Lopez's family disapproves of their relationship, pushing him toward his successful ex, Kristina does what she thinks is right: she lets go. The breakup shatters them both, but life moves on-until fate brings them back together when Kristina becomes a clinical instructor herself.
Old wounds reopen. Unfinished feelings resurface. But just as they begin to rebuild, Kristina discovers Lopez is engaged-to the woman his mother always wanted for him.
Yet, Lopez refuses to stop chasing her. And Kristina, tired of running, must finally decide: does she hold on, risking another fall? Or does she trust the ride, wherever it may take her?
A story of love, loss, and learning when to let go or fight for what truly matters-Handlebars is a heart-wrenching yet hopeful romance about two souls who were never meant to follow the rules.
