A novel by

 
 
They were everything to each other... until life tore them apart.

Tatum Grace is the internet’s favorite fitness influencer, all strength and swagger on the outside. But off-camera, she’s still the girl whose dad walked out and whose mom never recovered. She doesn’t do love. Not anymore.

Griffin Silver was her best friend once until high school popularity and a shot at the majors changed everything. Now he’s the Atlanta Braves’ newest rookie and the last person she expected to face across a jewelry campaign photoshoot.

It starts with a jewelry shoot. Then comes swimwear, a steamy photo leak, and a hotel mix-up that leaves them sharing one bed and headlines they can’t deny..

But when Tate finds herself at gunpoint in a late-night grocery store, it’s Griffin who steps in.

Old feelings resurface. So do old wounds. And suddenly, pretending not to care is the hardest role they’ve ever played.

A steamy, emotional best-friends-to-enemies-to-lovers romance about second chances, survival, and the kind of love that never quits.
