What she doesn't expect is to fall for Shawn Kennedy-Seattle's most successful (and complicated) club owner. Their connection is magnetic, undeniable... and messy. Especially when secrets surface, past lovers interfere, and Ava learns that love doesn't always come wrapped in promises.
But Ava's not the same girl they once pitied.
She's rising, healing, and fighting for the version of herself no one ever believed in.
Will love survive the chaos-or will heartbreak rewrite her story again?
