Elsie Novak has lived between two worlds her entire life. Discovered as a teenager, she grew into an international supermodel, polished, poised, and always prepared with an exit plan. But the place her heart has never left is her family's horse farm in Slovenia, where the air is quiet, the work is honest, and the only expectations are patience and care.
When a towering Serbian basketball star arrives one afternoon to buy a horse from her father, Elsie expects a routine transaction. What she doesn't expect is to tell Nikola Jokić "no" and mean it. Refusing to sell her personal horse is easy. Resisting the calm, curious man who isn't used to being denied is not. Nikola is intrigued by the girl who stands her ground, who loves fiercely, worries endlessly, and plans for every possible ending.
Elsie is unsettled by the man who takes life as it comes, who lives in the moment, and who makes her wonder what it might feel like to stop holding the reins so tightly. She may not give him her horse, but she does agree to one date. And in the space between careful and fearless, between pasture and packed arenas, Elsie discovers that some loves aren't meant to be managed, they're meant to be trusted.

Forward | Rewind to Tomorrow [Michael Jackson]
"It causes your immune system to turn against you," I explained gently. The color terrifyingly drained from his face as he stared at his knuckles. "I have a spot," he whispered, his voice scraping like glass. "Right here." He let out a strangled noise as the stadium footage buffered. "Riley!" he shrieked, covering his burning face while peering through his fingers at his future self. "Those pants leave absolutely nothing to the imagination!" He went so unnaturally still I thought his heart had stopped beating. His charcoal-stained fingers curled into tight fists. "Fifty," he whispered, scanning the fatal summary on the glowing screen. "I am... I am gone at fifty." What if the only way to save your future was to completely abandon your past? In 1982, Michael Jackson is suffocating. Trapped behind his family's compound gates and drowning under industry pressure, the rising star just wants a life of peace and normalcy. The universe answers-violently ripping him from his timeline and dropping him onto the bedroom rug of Riley, a freelance graphic designer in the year 2025. Stranded forty-three years in the future, Michael must face a world that already knows his tragic history. But Riley fiercely refuses to let that history repeat. She offers him the anonymous, ordinary life he always craved, rebuilding his shattered confidence brick by brick and teaching him the radical concept of self-love. More importantly, she arms him with the ultimate weapon: the brutal truth. She gives him the exact names of the snakes hiding in his 1982 backyard, the upcoming betrayals, and the devastating tragedies he is destined to face. When the universe inevitably pulls him back, Michael is no longer the timid pop star terrified of his shadow. He is a king preparing to claim his throne, knowing exactly how to rewrite music history and what it takes to survive. But armed with the future, changing his fate might cost him the one person who taught him how to live.

Dean blinked, not understanding. Not fully. "Sick how?" Rosie pressed a hand to her chest. Pain flared beneath her palm. Sharp now. Wrong. "I'm sick," she repeated. Dean stepped forward immediately. "Okay. I'll take you home. You'll feel better tomorrow." The gentleness in his voice broke her. "No, Dean." Her knees weakened. Beau caught her elbow. "Rosie." She looked at them both through tears. For weeks, she had imagined telling them. Not like this. Never like this. Not in a bar with music pounding and her heart misfiring in her chest.
