Sweet Surrender

Hating Jameson Murphy is easy. Wanting him is where everything gets complicated. He’s my best friend’s older brother. My father’s star player. A charmingly infuriating football god I’ve spent a lifetime avoiding and failing to ignore. He should be the last man tempting me into bad decisions. But when a snowstorm grounds our flight, and champagne blurs our judgment, one reckless night shatters every rule I’ve put in place . . . leaving me with two little pink lines and one very big problem. Now, thanks to an unreliable mother, a surprise baby sister, and a new living arrangement I never saw coming, my carefully crafted life is unraveling faster than the worn satin ribbon on my favorite old pointe shoes. And Jameson? He’s everywhere. In my space. In my secrets. Looking at me like he already knows how this ends and how it doesn’t. Forcing me to face a truth I’m not ready to accept . . . What if surrender doesn’t mean losing yourself? What if it’s about trusting someone else? And maybe . . . just maybe, what if it means finally finding home?
