Unlearning Him

Eliana has spent half her life loving a man who can never love her back. To the world, Jax is the vibrant, unapologetically gay best friend; to Eliana, he is the center of her universe. For years, she has played the role of the devoted shadow, sacrificing her time, her heart, and her dignity to keep him happy, all while nursing a secret hope that one day, he might look at her and see a woman instead of a "sister."

​But hope is a dangerous thing. When Eliana's hidden feelings finally collide with Jax's harsh reality, he reacts with a cruelty that shatters her. Disgusted and defensive, Jax pushes her away, leaving Eliana with no choice but to choose herself and walk away. Only when the silence becomes deafening and Eliana moves on does Jax realize that the lines between friendship and desire are thinner than he ever imagined. Now, it's his turn to chase, to change, and to prove that he's willing to lose everything, even his old self, to win back the only heart that ever truly beat for him.
