✨ One broken heart. One unexpected love. A whole lot of healing. ✨

At 18, Tessa White has lost everything-her beloved aunt, her sense of stability, and her two-year relationship after her high school boyfriend found someone new. Alone and heartbroken, she never expected help to come from Blake Lawson-her ex's older brother.

Blake, 28, is nothing like his younger brother. Raised in a lower-class family, he built his own success through hard work and refuses to look back. He keeps his distance-not because he has to, but because he prefers being alone. That is, until her. Tessa is the only person whose presence he not only tolerates but craves.

Tessa struggles with body image, constantly hard on herself over every small flaw. Blake notices-how she picks at her food, the way she flinches at her reflection. Unlike anyone before, he pushes her to eat, to see herself the way he does. And when the weight of her insecurities triggers a panic attack, he holds her close, whispering, "You're the only sight I've ever seen that I could lose myself in for eternity, Tessie."

As they grow closer, their relationship takes the world by storm. Attending elite galas together, they become the "It" couple-trending all over social media for their undeniable chemistry and scandalous ten-year age gap. But when her ex comes crawling back, begging for another chance, Tessa realizes the truth.

She never really loved him. Her heart always belonged to Blake-her first, last, and only love.

💖✨ A grumpy x sunshine, forbidden, age gap romance full of healing, passion, and the love she never saw coming.
