a second chance at forever

Freya's world was turned upside down the day her first love died in a car accident. Now, a freshman at college, she's just trying to make it through-living in a small apartment and working at a coffee shop to pay the bills. With her friends scattered across different universities and her family life fractured, she's learned to keep her distance from everyone, especially guys. The last thing she wants is to get close to anyone again.

But Callum, her outgoing and effortlessly charismatic coworker, isn't easy to ignore. From the moment they meet, his presence seems to fill the room, his smile contagious and his confidence unshakable. He makes an effort to connect with Freya, yet she keeps him at arm's length, determined not to get tangled up in anything that could hurt her.

Despite her best efforts, their friendship blossoms, and Freya starts to see that there's more to Callum than his charm. She finds herself slowly drawn to him, not just because of his energy, but because of the quiet vulnerability he tries so hard to hide.

Freya is faced with the difficult choice of whether to keep her guard up or take a chance on someone who could, just maybe, give her a second chance at forever. But trusting someone new isn't easy when the past still looms large, and both Freya and Callum will have to decide if they're ready to risk their hearts again.
