Curing Cooper by kierralannita

To the world, Archie is untouchable-smart, driven, with a face and body that could inspire legends. Women fall at his feet, and why wouldn't they? He's the perfect picture of success, the golden boy who has it all. But beneath the surface, Archie lives by a strict rule: never fall in love. Love is chaos, a danger he's sworn to avoid. Football, though? That's his sanctuary. The game demands his focus, keeps him grounded, and, most importantly, it requires zero emotional attachment. It's his fortress, protecting him from feelings that could tear him apart. And for years, it's worked flawlessly-until now. Lori Cooper is a storm he never saw coming. The girl from his past-once fragile, tormented, and pushed to her breaking point-has returned to their hometown. She's not the weak target she used to be. Lori is fierce, stunning, and hardened by the years spent nursing old wounds. But those wounds haven't healed. Far from it. She's back with a purpose: to make Archie pay for the pain he caused her. Time, however, is slipping away-because Lori has a secret, one that's slowly killing her. But even with death on the horizon, revenge is her only focus. She's determined to see him fall, no matter what it costs her. But the past is never as simple as it seems, and when their worlds crash together, Archie and Lori discover that love, for all its risks and dangers, is far more powerful than either could have imagined. In the end, it's not just love that has the power to undo them-it's the truth. Curing Cooper. Copyright. © 2024 All rights reserved.
