Pieces

Hudson: Football has always been my future. I play hard, I have fun, and I never let anything throw me off course. And then I met her. Daphne James. One night, no strings. Just her laughter, her lips, and the way she made me forget everything else. But by the next morning, she was gone. Or so I thought.

Turns out, she's a freshman here at Cedar Lakes. And when I find out her dad is my coach, staying away isn't just smart, it's survival. He's made it clear that his daughter is off-limits. One wrong move, and I could lose everything. Until I can't. Because she's pregnant. With my kid. I've spent my whole life chasing one dream. But suddenly, my future isn't just mine anymore.

Daphne: For one night, I wanted to be reckless. Hudson was supposed to be a secret. But secrets have a way of finding you again. Two pink lines changed everything. And the last person I expected to see at Cedar Lakes was him.

We're strangers and I never expected him to stick around. Yet he isn't walking away. He's persistent, funny, charming, and refusing to let me do this alone.

Hudson might be everything I never planned for, but he's also the one thing I might not be able to live without.

Contains mature themes.
