Restless Hearts | Santana x My Character: Book 4

For Santana Lopez, New York City was supposed to be a fresh start. After leaving college behind and moving to the city, she's been building a new life alongside her old friends, Kurt and Rachel. Between chasing dreams, late nights in the city, and a new girlfriend, Santana is determined to move forward, even if the past she left behind still lingers in the corners of her mind. For Dakota Drew De Luca, returning to New York means taking control of her life, and finally feeling whole again. A year after barely surviving the night she almost died, Dakota has healed, found her strength, and stepped fully into her role as the young CEO of her family's world-famous record label. Raising her son, Chase, and managing the spotlight has made her stronger than ever. Yet while she's physically and mentally recovered, the emotions she never fully processed, especially those tied to Kayden, her former best friend and Chase's father, still linger. And now, Kayden has begun reaching out, asking to see Chase, threatening to stir up feelings Dakota has worked so hard to keep buried. When Dakota and Santana start spending time together again, old sparks begin to flare. But nothing hits harder than the moment Dakota sees Santana with Chase. In an instant, every feeling she thought she had buried comes rushing back, longing, jealousy, and love she can't ignore. As they navigate their renewed connection, both women must confront the weight of their pasts, the complications of the present, and the risk of giving their hearts to each other again. In a city that never sleeps, love is complicated, second chances are fragile, and some emotions refuse to stay buried. Can Dakota and Santana find a way back to each other, or will the ghosts of the past keep them apart forever?
