The Endings We Chase

Mallory King has always trusted books more than people.

As a librarian, she knows every story has a beginning, a middle, and an ending. Her own life is simple, predictable, and exactly how she likes it-until Connor Bellamy walks in.

A successful defense attorney, devoted father, and unexpected Stephen King lover, Connor is everything Mallory never expected to find. What begins as casual conversations over books slowly becomes a connection neither of them can ignore.

But Connor has a life beyond the library. A wife he loves. A family is building and a reputation.

As feelings deepen, Mallory must face the hardest question of all: what kind of person does she want to be when her heart wants something she cannot easily have?

Caught between love, loyalty, and the consequences of their choices, Mallory and Connor discover that some connections change your life forever-even if they don't happen the way you imagined.

Because sometimes the stories we chase aren't the ones that define us.

Sometimes they are the ones that teach us who we are.
