For The Hope Of It All

Kiyara Bakhtiar is far from a hopeless romantic but that doesn't mean she hasn't spent her free time cozying up to a fine roster of men. No, Kiyara Bakhtiar knows how to have fun. But she has never been in love and she's fiercely protective of her heart. Until Ilyes Almàsy, an injured rising soccer star from the top ranking English league, Manchester Glory FC, spends his summer break in New York City to visit his cousin Sinclair, Kiyara's best friend's boyfriend.

Kiyara lets Ilyes into her life for the summer, and in turn, Ilyes welcomes her into his. For the first time, Kiyara allows herself to imagine a future with him. But what happens when Ilyes is unable to give her the commitment she needs? Will Ilyes realize that Kiyara is the person for him? Or will their tale end in the fresh wound of a broken heart?
