Valerie Prescott never thought she'd fall for Jake Graham. As her brother Mason's best friend, Jake has always been off-limits. But fate has a way of breaking the rules. Jake, a star football player with a tragic past, carries a burden of grief over losing his girlfriend, Josephine. Valerie, still haunted by the trauma of her own dark past, isn't sure if she can ever let someone in again.

Their connection is undeniable, but their love comes at a cost.

Mason is fiercely protective of his sister and equally loyal to Jake. What will he do when he discovers their relationship? And as Valerie and Jake navigate their way through complicated feelings, secrets from the past threaten to tear them apart.

This is a story of forbidden love, unspoken pain, and the strength it takes to heal.

Will Valerie find the courage to face her demons? Can Jake let go of his guilt and fight for the woman he loves? And when the truth comes to light, will Mason stand in their way-or will he be the bridge that brings them together?

One thing is certain: nothing about their journey will be easy.

If you're ready for a story filled with heartbreak, passion, and the possibility of second chances, take the leap and discover what happens when love defies all odds.
