He never wanted a relationship...📚

Josie Martin just wants to chase a dream. She spent years giving her everything to Adair Swim, a blog dedicated to the world of professional swimming. She fought to break stigmas and stereotypes surrounding the sport. Until, ultimately, she had to give it away. Now she's put her dreams of being a writer on hold to pursue a practical, safe job in a corporate office (and she tolerates it).

And Bryce Clark is just another dream that got away from her.

Despite constantly being told he wasn't looking for love, she fell hard for him. Their friendship was important to her, their hookups meant something, and he broke her heart anyway.

Now, almost two years later, he's back in her life and she's determined not to fall this time. Except there's no falling to be done. She already fell and still hasn't fully gotten over it. Now, she just needs to protect her heart.

... Read moreIn the complex world of romance, the themes of second chances and personal growth often intertwine. Josie's story is a reminder that relationships are rarely straightforward. Even when someone insists they're not seeking love, true feelings can emerge, leading to heartbreak and a battle to find oneself. The dynamic between friendship and deeper connections adds layers to the narrative, particularly when past relationships resurface. Josie’s mixed emotions—caught between a dream job and unrequited love—resonate with anyone who's faced similar crossroads of love versus ambition. As she reflects on her time with Bryce, we see the challenges of moving past an emotionally charged situation while simultaneously grappling with the fear of getting hurt again. Readers are invited to explore the complexity of human connections and the difficult decisions that accompany them. Embrace the journey of self-discovery, where every relationship teaches us something invaluable, and understand that sometimes love finds us when we least expect it.
