Michelle Adigheji has always excelled academically, yet shields herself from love after witnessing her parents' relationship crumble. Everything changes when Jace Walker—her brother's best friend and the charming bad boy who has girls lining up for his attention—unexpectedly declares his feelings. "It has always been you," he confesses between heated kisses. But Michelle knows better. In Jace's world, love doesn't exist. So why now? "You changed everything, Muffin. I love you," he pleads, his eyes desperate. She's terrified of becoming another conquest, just another girl he'll discard. Can genuine connection overcome his player reputation, or is Michelle destined to be used like all the rest? As lines blur between friendship and desire, this intensely romantic tale explores whether true love can transform a bad boy's heart—and whether Michelle can trust him with hers. A story of forbidden attraction, young love defying the odds, and the power of connection to mend broken hearts.
