When Second Chances Rewrite Destiny
Love rarely follows a straight path. For Madelyn Hearst, that path took an unexpected turn when Kyle Robbins-the boy who broke her heart years ago-pulled up to the luxury mansion she was showing in his forest green Aston Martin. No longer just the troubled teenager she once knew, Kyle was now a towering NFL rookie with the Seattle Seahawks, his face plastered across billboards nationwide. Behind his newfound fame stood the same piercing blue eyes that once made her believe in love, before he disappeared without explanation, leaving her alone with life-altering consequences. Their unexpected reunion set the stage for a second chance neither saw coming-one that would force them to confront painful truths about their shared past while navigating an uncertain future.
