What We Left Behind #2

"I can't go through losing you again."

"Then don't. Stick around this time... I promise I'm worth the risk."

2# book in series 𝙆𝙞𝙘𝙠𝙤𝙛𝙛- "Four players. Four hearts. One team. Every love story begins at kickoff."

𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚 𝐁𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 never believed in second chances-at least not the kind that involved boys with too much charm and too little sincerity.

Especially not boys like 𝐋𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐘𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐥, Barcelona's brightest star, the name the whole world chants, the boy whose smile could start war.

The boy who seems to have the entire world at his feet.

Valeria's crush on him started innocently enough-with a random TikTok edit she should have scrolled past.

She didn't.

Unfortunately.

What started as a harmless celebrity crush slowly turned into something much worse.

Something real.

The problem?

Lamine barely knew she existed.

At least, at first.

His focus was football.

Football and nothing else.

Relationships were distractions.

Feelings were complications.

And Valeria Bernal was simply Marc's little sister.

Until she wasn't.

The more time Lamine spent around Marc, the more often he found himself around Valeria.

And the more often he found himself around Valeria, the harder she became to ignore.

But some people come into your life twice for a reason.

And when old feelings, new mistakes, and missed chances collide, Valeria and Lamine will have to decide if love is worth risking everything for.

Because sometimes the hardest part isn't falling in love.

It's finding the courage to stay.
