He's the one mistake she never managed to regret.
She fell in love with her brother's best friend.
He kissed her behind the grandstands and told her to wait for him. Then he left-and never came back.
Now she's standing in his city, asking him for a favor she swore she'd never need.
It isn't strategy. It's memory.
Getting close to him again is reckless. she knows that.
And letting him touch her would be far worse...
Because this time, if she falls for him again, it won't just cost her her heart.
It will cost her everything.
