Some crashes don't end when the sirens fade. Sapphire Coleman thought she understood loss.
She lost Malik, the boy who was supposed to be her forever. The boy she was saving herself for. The boy who died before their future even had the chance to begin.
College was supposed to be her fresh start. Then she met Jason Maxwell. Quiet. Controlled. Infuriatingly steady. The kind of man who watches more than he speaks, and loves harder than he lets on. Being around him feels dangerous in a different way. Safe. Solid. Real.
But safety doesn't erase trauma. When a night at a fraternity party shatters Sapphire's sense of control, she's forced to confront more than just her fear. As rumours spread, loyalties fracture, and old ghosts resurface, she's left asking herself the question she's been avoiding:
Can you love again when you're still grieving the first?
Jason is willing to stay. Willing to fight. Willing to protect. But love after impact is never simple. Because healing isn't linear. Desire isn't always safe. And sometimes the biggest crash is the one you carry inside.
After the Impact is a bold, emotionally intense New Adult romance about grief, guilt, survival, and choosing love when it would be easier to run. Some love stories begin with sparks. This one begins in the aftermath.
