Matt has spent his life making wishes on stars. As a kid, he wished for his mom to come back. As a teen, he wished for a shot at the big leagues. And now, after a decade as a professional baseball player, his only wish is for someone to share his life with—someone to love deeply and forever. When he meets Mel, the sweet and spirited small-town teacher, he knows his wish has finally come true.
Mel is a dreamer who’s fought hard to leave her past behind. After escaping an abusive relationship and rebuilding her life, her heart has quietly longed for safety, love, and a future filled with family. But she can’t help questioning why someone like Matt—a famous athlete who could have anyone—would choose her.
‘My thighs are thick, my stomach has stretch marks, and my boobs and butt are too big,’ she tells herself. ‘He’s a superstar. I’m just a teacher from a small town.’
But Matt sees what Mel can’t: her strength, beauty, and the warmth that feels like coming home. Together, they’ll discover that love isn’t about perfection—it’s about finding the one who makes all your dreams, and wishes, come true.
A heartfelt tale of love, self-acceptance, and the magic of finding the person who sees you for everything you are.
