She spent her whole life doing what was ‘right’—until doing right nearly broke her. Taylor Bradshaw-Martin is the woman everyone counts on. Wife. Daughter. Professional. She’s the one who holds it all together—even when everything inside her is falling apart. But when her husband drops the ball one time too many, Taylor finally makes a call she never imagined herself making… To Brooks Bishop. Her best friend’s brother. Quiet. Protective. Unshakably steady. The kind of man who doesn’t ask questions—he just shows up. What starts as a lifeline turns into late-night talks, lingering looks, and a connection that feels safer than anything she’s ever known. Choosing Brooks means risking it all—her family’s approval, her best friend’s trust, and the version of herself she’s spent years performing. But it also means choosing peace. Choosing presence. Choosing to be seen. One man let her fall. Another is ready to catch her. The only question is... will she let him?
