Skater Boy

Ten years ago, Jessica Monroe fell in love with a boy who sang too loud in coffee shops and promised her forever.

Then he left town - and she learned the hard way that loving someone reckless can break you.

Now she's a single mom, a dance instructor, and finally standing on steady ground... until Zach Carter walks back into her life - older, famous, and still wearing the necklace she gave him at seventeen.

When a viral concert moment puts her back in his orbit, they agree to take it slow. Coffee. Public places. No kitchen counters.

But history doesn't stay buried. Not in a small town. Not when her daughter already adores him. Not when the past keeps whispering that he hasn't changed.

Zach swears he's different now. Sober. Steady. Ready.

But when old fears and family demons resurface, Jess must decide whether love is worth the risk - and whether a man can truly break the cycle he was raised in.

Because this time, it's not just her heart on the line.

It's her daughter's.

And walking away would be easier.

But staying might be everything.
