Rebound relationships never work.
Sean has no interest in being anybody's rebound guy. He wants paying customers lining up around the block and without cops anywhere near his club, not a relationship. When he's slinging drinks behind the bar, he's got his pick of women more than willing to spend a night in his bed. Even if he were looking for someone to share his life with, it wouldn't be a sexy redhead wrapped up in ex drama, or with a crazy, overprotective father to boot.
Nope.
No way.
But when Talia looks up at him like he's her honest-to-God hero, and the burn of her kisses linger long after they've ended, his resolve just may falter.

SEE RIGHT THROUGH ME
" 'Cause if I know you see me falling, You'll be right there to pick me up" Liyah never meant to fall this fast. She's the shy-but-outgoing type - the kind of girl who laughs things off, bites her tongue, and lets stuff slide just to keep the peace. Communication isn't her strong suit, and standing up for herself never came easy. But when Kayzon walks into her life, everything she thought she knew about protecting her heart gets complicated. Kayzon's got his own story - one written in pain, loss, and walls too high for most people to climb. His past made him hard, quiet, and guarded, but somehow, Liyah gets past the surface. She makes him feel seen again. Safe, even. What starts as late-night conversations and lazy afternoons in her dorm turns into something deeper, something neither of them expected. But when two people carrying their own kind of hurt collide, love doesn't always heal - sometimes, it exposes. Did they move too fast, or did they just find each other at the wrong time?
