US EVENTUALLY

Katrina Bradley has always been the girl everyone relies on. The smartest student in school, she balances perfect grades with a not so perfect reality- raising her younger siblings while her parents are away. Responsibility before anything, and her dreams come second. Love? That's never been an option.

That's until Holden Torok walks into her life. Holden is the schools's football quarterback- charismatic, guarded, and carrying far more weight than anyone realizes. Behind his confident, cocky exterior is a broken home ruled by an abusive father that he's learned to survive in. When Holden is assigned tutoring, Katrina becomes the only person who truly sees him- and won't look away fro nothing. As tutor sessions happen so do stolen glances and unspoken truths. Two different people with different lives, the same, to be understood, to be safe and to be loved, Sometimes the strongest are built in chaos- and maybe love is the only way out.
