More Than Expected

Emily Harper is used to blending into the background. She's focused, practical, and perfectly content to keep her dreams-like her love of Broadway-quietly tucked away. But when she's assigned as a reluctant study buddy to Lucas Bennet, the school's charming baseball star with a reputation for confidence, her carefully ordered world starts to change in ways she never expected.

Lucas Bennet might seem like he has it all figured out, but under the easy smiles and athletic success, he's struggling to balance the weight of expectations and his own sense of self. When his grades start slipping, he goes to Emily for some help with history.

As study sessions turn into late-night talks and unexpected detours, Emily and Lucas find themselves opening up in ways neither anticipated. Together, they'll learn that there's more to each other-and themselves-than anyone ever imagined.
