Betsy and Devon were once college sweethearts. Now? They’re just friends with benefits—a toxic pattern she can’t seem to break.

For years, he’s kept her close… dating other women, breaking up, and always coming back to her bed. Never offering forever. Never letting her go. Devon doesn’t want a real relationship—he just doesn’t want Betsy with anyone else.
Then she meets Conor.
Charming, confident, and everything Devon isn’t, Conor makes Betsy feel like the leading lady in her own love story—not a back-up plan. With Conor, she finds a swoony hero who actually shows up, plans dates, listens, and gives her his best instead of his leftovers. Their slow burn romance turns into something steamy, heartfelt, and impossible to ignore.

Suddenly Devon is ready to commit. But Betsy’s done waiting. Because she’s finally found the kind of protective, swoony hero romance she deserves—the kind where she’s chosen first.
