When it Hurts to Fall

When It Hurts to Fall

(The Hurt Series #5 - Zadie & Woody)

She's chaos in eyeliner. He's the boy who's been in love with her forever.

Zadie Spencer lives like there's no tomorrow - grunge playlists, late-night parties, too much eyeliner, too little sleep. She falls fast, especially for the wrong kind of guys - musicians with heartbreak written in their chords and destruction in their smiles.

Woody Grant's the opposite. Boulder's golden boy. Star quarterback. Top of his class. The one who's always there when her world falls apart.

He's spent years loving her quietly - fixing things she doesn't notice, catching her every time she falls. But there's only so many times you can put someone back together before the pieces stop fitting.

Because loving Zadie Spencer hurts.

And when best friends cross the line, somebody always bleeds.

She's the storm he's been chasing his whole life.
He's the steady heartbeat she never thought she'd need.
