Hadley Walker has sworn off love for good. After fiancé ended their engagement, she's thrown herself into her career as a writer, determined to keep her heart safely off the page. But when her boss assigns her to co-write a memoir with former baseball star Levi James, she's ready to walk away.
Levi's career ended far too soon after a devastating injury, and the last thing Hadley wants to do is to relive the memory as her ex-fiancé's football career ended the very same way. The similarities cut too deep, and Hadley can't imagine spending weeks dredging up old wounds with a man who mirrors her past. But her boss won't take no for an answer. As the project forces them together, Hadley discovers that beneath Levi's tough exterior is a man grappling with what life looks like beyond the stadium lights. And Levi sees through Hadley's walls, challenging her to believe that endings can make way for new beginnings. Soon, the lines between professional and personal blur, and Hadley must decide if she's willing to risk her heart one more time-or let the chance at something real slip away.

But when Oakley becomes part of Justin's world, the collision is instant. They challenge each other. Hurt each other. Need each other in ways neither of them are ready to admit. Underneath the tension is something real. Something dangerous. Because neither of them has ever known love that didn't come with bruises. In a world obsessed with perfection, Oakley is slowly unraveling. Haunted by a past she won't speak of, and a future that demands more than she has left to give. And Justin-he's the only one who sees the cracks beneath the gold. But loving someone who runs isn't easy. And trusting someone who fights to push you away might be impossible.

Brave Enough To Love Again
I stood with my back to her, shielding her, and my murderous eyes stared down at the poor excuse of a man, promising unimaginable pain if he dared to move or even flinch. The enormity of control it took me to suppress the impulse to eradicate the piece of scum, who dared to even think about laying a hand on a woman, was inconceivable. My whole body was trembling with rage. The guy was intimidated by the fury in my eyes and stumbled back to his intoxicated friends who were too dazed to understand the situation. I was disappointed and relieved at the same time that the chaos didn't end in a fist fight. When I turned around to console her, she was gone. And as I looked around, I saw her back just leaving the bar through the entrance. I hurried out to follow her. She walked ahead of me aimlessly and disoriented like a wounded animal that had just escaped the claws of death. My heart ached for her. I found a kindred soul in her. She evidently had been wounded in the past. Just like me. But in an even worse way than I had been hurt, and it angered me, that someone had dared to harm her. *** Eden Marie Simmons is still recovering after escaping an abusive relationship when she meets Keane, the broody and enigmatic neighbor who is shrouded in mystery.
