Where I'm Meant to Be
(2026)(The fifth book in the Taylor Family Romance series)
A novel by Juli Hill
The quarterback was never part of my plan.
Olivia:
I have my future mapped out. Graduate with honors. Earn my place at Taylor Energy. Prove to my four overprotective brothers that I’m more than the youngest sister who still needs protecting.
Distractions are not part of the plan.
Especially not Ace Callahan.
UT'''s star quarterback. Campus legend. Future NFL draft pick. The kind of man every girl notices.
The kind I refuse to make time for.
At least, that’s what I tell myself—until I literally run into him on campus, and he does something no one else seems to know how to do.
He sees me. Not my last name. Not my family. Me.
One lunch turns into stolen time between classes. One kiss turns into a love I never planned for.
And then my carefully ordered future has a heartbeat.
Ace says we’ll take it one step at a time. But believing I can have it all—love, family, my own dreams—without losing myself?
That’s the risk I never saw coming.
Ace:
I’m used to pressure. Fourth-quarter comebacks. NFL scouts. A whole stadium expecting me to be perfect.
Then Olivia Taylor crashes into me on campus—and walks away without a second glance.
She doesn’t want the quarterback. She doesn’t care about the spotlight. She sees the man under the jersey.
So when our future changes overnight, I don’t want an escape route.
I want her. I want our baby. I want all of it.
