Botching It

Alfie Wright has never been good at letting go.

He met Amy Rowe in his second year at Loughborough and has been falling for her ever since. She's fire and contradiction-warm one minute, gone the next. Every time he thinks he's figured her out, she slips through his fingers again.

Now uni's over, and life is supposed to be starting. He's signed with Bedford Blues, moved into his first flat, and told himself he's ready to move on. But Amy has a way of showing up when he least expects it-and when she does, all the lines he's drawn start to blur.

Because no matter how hard he tries to keep his distance, he still wants her. Even when it hurts. Especially when it hurts.

A story about timing, fear, and the kind of love that refuses to leave quietly.
