He’s my rival…
and the one man I can’t afford to want.

I had to fight for my place.
He never had to try.
And I refuse to lose to him.

Greyson Livingston was born for this.

Brilliant.
Effortless.
Untouchable.

He doesn’t have to try—and somehow, he’s still the best.

I had to fight for my place.
Alternate.
Out of my league.
One mistake away from losing everything.

So yes… I see him as my competition.

Even if he doesn’t see me at all.

Until one night changes everything.

A graduation party.
One reckless decision.
And a side of him I can’t forget.

Controlled. Commanding.
The kind of man who gives orders—and expects them to be followed.

And for one night…

I did.

I tell myself it meant nothing.

That I can outwork him. Outlast him. Prove I belong here.

But the harder I push… the closer I get to breaking.

And the last person I expect to catch me…

is him.

The man I’ve been trying to beat
is suddenly the one watching me.

Protecting me.
Pushing me harder.
Looking at me like I matter.

Like he hasn’t forgotten the night I followed his every command.

But just when I start to believe in something more…

everything changes.

Because the truth behind my past—
the one thing I’ve never been able to let go of—

is about to collide with his in a way neither of us saw coming.

And when it does…

it might destroy us both.

Especially now that walking away isn’t an option.

I’m pregnant.

The only question is—

when everything falls apart…

will Greyson fight for me?

Or will I finally prove I never belonged in his world to begin with?
