WHAT IF?
At eighteen, Ivory Sterling has learned that love is as fleeting as it is painful. The weight of a past she cannot escape has left her heart frozen, her world reduced to silence and solitude. The one person she never had the courage to love is gone, and with him, any hope she once had for something more. When Declan Ford enters her life, a man as enigmatic and broken as she is, their connection is undeniable, yet their hatred is equally powerful. Bound by unspoken truths and the ghosts of their pasts, they find themselves caught between what was and what could never be. In a world full of "what ifs," they must face the question that haunts them both: Can love survive the weight of regret, or is it forever doomed to remain a memory? #8 in Rumours #11 in Fake Friends #13 in Secret Affair

This has been my way of life for years, and nothing has challenged it. Until him. Charming, ambitious, he draws me in and then refuses to leave. He's persistent, annoyingly so, keeps coming back like a damn boomerang. And he's getting a little too close, asking a little too many questions. Questions I refuse to answer. Some things are just supposed to stay forgotten. JAYDEN SENNELS: Swimming is my life. I basically breathe water. Growing up the way I did, going to the Olympics seemed like an unattainable dream.

Enter her. Tall, confident, she seduces me, refuses to tell me her name, and has me waking up to an empty bed. She is an enigma, and there is most definitely something she's not telling me. From the moment I saw her, I knew. This woman is trouble in high heels. She will destroy me. And I am going to love it. 🏊♂️ WARNING: Strong language and sexual content.
