I’m not his to protect, but the NFL's bad boy has never been one to follow the rules.

​

Seven years ago, I was living my dream life. Supportive family, amazing friends, admission into my dream college... And a secret relationship with my brother’s best friend.

​

Zane and I had it all worked out until one horrific moment tore our worlds apart, sending us spiraling in different directions.

​

Now he’s making headlines for all the wrong reasons, while I’m drifting through life, dating his biggest rival.

​

But just as I start questioning my future, Zane reappears. He was never supposed to come back, yet here he is, reminding me of my worth, begging me to walk away from a man who never truly valued me.

​

Everything has changed, yet he’s the same—confident, charismatic, and looking at me with fire still burning in his eyes. It’s impossible to pretend he’s not the incredible man I once knew.

​

I try to keep my distance, but for the first time since losing it all, I’m starting to find my strength. And it’s all thanks to Zane’s unwavering support.

​

But it turns out, I’m not the only one who’s broken, and the only way forward is to face the past…together.
