LOVING 7

Tommen's cheeky lad, Gerard "Gibsie" Gibson, is a comedian at heart. But beneath his happy-go-lucky exterior hides a broken boy, scarred by the shadows of his past. Using humor as both shield and survival tactic, Gibsie keeps the world at arm's length, never letting anyone see the truth beneath the jokes.

Only one person truly knows who he is behind the mask. His best friend's little sister. His Izzy-girl.

Warm-hearted and fiercely loyal, Isabella Kavanagh has spent her life loving the one person she was never supposed to-her brother's best friend. She sees through Gibsie's laughter, recognizing the pain no one else notices, and refuses to give up on the boy who's always been her safe place. Determined and compassionate, Isabella is ready to fight for the man she knows exists beneath the armor.

But when boundaries blur and the unexpected changes everything, will Gibsie and Isabella's friendship survive? Will it evolve into something deeper-or will they lose each other in the riptide of emotions neither of them is prepared to face?
