Still By My Side (Book 2)
Nick thought the hardest part was getting a diagnosis.
He was wrong.
Months after being diagnosed with epilepsy, life is finally beginning to feel normal again. He's back at university, back with his rugby team as captain, and slowly learning that epilepsy doesn't define who he is.
But recovery isn't a straight path.
As Nick adjusts to medication, hospital appointments, and the fear of another seizure, he begins pushing himself too hard to prove he's still the same person. Charlie can see the cracks forming long before Nick admits something is wrong.
When a new medical emergency turns their world upside down once again, Nick is forced to accept that being strong doesn't mean facing everything alone.
Through every setback, every hospital visit, every panic attack, and every small victory, one thing never changes...
Charlie is still by his side.
