Gracie-Rose Graham has spent most of her life living in the shadow of her twin brother, Garrett. While he thrived as Briar University’s golden hockey star, Gracie carried painful secrets from her past and buried herself in music, determined to build a future as a film and television composer. Between classes, shifts at Malone’s, and her closest friends by her side, she’s learned how to survive—but not how to let people truly in. The one exception has always been John Logan, her brother’s best friend and the boy she’s secretly loved for years. After a devastating breakup brings them closer than ever, Gracie and Logan begin a secret, no-strings-attached relationship that quickly becomes impossible to keep casual. As their feelings deepen, Gracie must confront the trauma she’s spent years hiding while Logan learns that loving someone means staying through the difficult moments, not just the easy ones. Their story is a slow-burn journey of friendship, healing, and finding home in the person who was beside them all along.
