Quote: "He let me go without a fight. But his best friend held on like I was worth saving."
Nova Taylor thought her life was on track-until Blake, her boyfriend of three years, ends things without warning. Left heartbroken and confused, she finds unexpected comfort in Zion Carter-Blake's best friend.
What starts as quiet talks and shared glances quickly turns into something deeper. Zion sees her in a way Blake never did. But falling for him? That's messy. Complicated. Off-limits.
As feelings grow, so do the consequences-rumors, broken friendships, and the return of the boy who left.
Now Nova must decide: follow the rules of the past, or fight for the love she never saw coming.
"Sometimes, the wrong person breaks your heart so the right one can find the pieces."
