What starts as a reckless, chemistry-fueled romance between commitment-averse Skylar and golden-boy Alex spirals into something deeper-until an unexpected pregnancy and devastating miscarriage force them to decide if what they have is just passion or something worth fighting for.

Skylar Ward does not do relationships.

Relationships turn messy, complicated, and painful. She learned that young, watching her mother chase love like it was something that could finally fix her. Since then, Skylar has built her life around three simple rules: have fun, stay unattached, and never let anyone have enough power to break you.

Then her best friend, Emma, introduces her to Alex Parsons.

Alex is the kind of guy people gravitate toward without even realizing it. Charming. Athletic. Cocky in a way that is somehow endearing. A graphic design major with a spot on the college soccer team, a packed social calendar, and a reputation for never staying tied down for long. He's supposed to be a fun distraction. A hot hookup she can laugh about later.

Instead, he becomes everything she never meant to want.

What starts with tequila shots, karaoke duets, and a chemistry neither of them can control quickly spirals into something deeper. Something terrifying. Alex sees the parts of Skylar she keeps hidden beneath sarcasm and confidence, while Skylar makes Alex question the carefully planned future everyone else expects him to want.

Their relationship burns hot from the start. Late nights tangled in sheets. Frat parties and whispered confessions. Fights that end in desperate kisses. The kind of love that feels all-consuming before either of them realize they're already in too deep.

But when an unexpected pregnancy changes everything, the cracks in their relationship begin to show. And after a devastating miscarriage leaves them both drowning in grief, Skylar and Alex are forced to confront the painful truth that love alone may not be enough to save them.
