New job. New number. New hair. New rules.

Donte was her first love. Her first lesson in heartbreak. Her biggest mistake.
Silas? Silas is temptation in slow motion. Intense. Unapologetic. And nothing like her usual type... except he sees her. Really sees her.

Silas has spent his adult life running from a toxic legacy. He knows he’s not fit for a relationship—but the moment he sees Eshe, he knows she’s the one. And her ex? A fool for letting her go. Silas is used to getting what he wants, and what he wants is her. He’s charming, persistent, and hiding pain just as deep as hers. But he’s working on it. Like really working on it.

When a Super Bowl pre-game turns into an unexpected entanglement, Eshe’s carefully reconstructed life starts to blur. Silas isn’t just a friend like she tries to pretend he is—he’s the man who listens when she speaks and chases her when she runs. And he’s willing to face every ghost in her closet... and throw hands with her ex if she wants him to.

But healing isn’t linear. And love never promised to be easy.
