"Siri-play Sacrifice by Mariah the Scientist"
After ending a three-year relationship that left her doubting love, Korbyn James, a 21-year-old with dreams of opening her own Wellness and Nutrition Center, returns home for the summer-partly to focus on herself, and partly to complete her internship hours for school. Between long days balancing professionalism and self-reflection, she's determined to rebuild her peace and keep her heart guarded. But when she meets Malikai Hill, a 24-year-old middle and high school football coach with a quiet charm and his own unspoken wounds, everything she thought she'd closed the door on starts to stir again.
Neither of them is looking for love - she's rebuilding, he's avoiding. But as their paths keep crossing, they both realize healing isn't always peaceful; sometimes, it requires a sacrifice.

The man she's not allowed to want-but can't stop thinking about. He's older, sharper, dangerous in a way that feels like a warning and a promise all at once. And he sees right through her-her grief, her anger, her desire. One look and she's undone. One touch and she's his. This isn't just love.
