The Choice She Didn't Know She Had

Lilac thought she knew what love was supposed to feel like.
Safe. Familiar. Steady.
For years, Jay Westbrook has been her best friend, her comfort, the one person who always shows up when life gets too heavy. He knows how she takes her coffee, what movies she watches when she's sad, and exactly how to make her feel protected. But when one night at a college party pulls hidden feelings into the open, Lilac realizes Jay has been keeping more from her than she ever imagined.
Then there's Marco Dayne.
Stanford's infamous volleyball star. Beautiful, reckless, and dangerous in all the ways Lilac should avoid. He was never supposed to notice her. He was never supposed to make her feel wanted. And he definitely wasn't supposed to turn one careless night into something neither of them can forget.
Caught between the boy who feels like home and the man who feels like fire, Lilac is forced to question everything she thought she knew about loyalty, desire, and the difference between love and possession.
Because some people love gently.
Some people love selfishly.
And some people love like they're willing to ruin everything just to keep you.
