Becca

Best friends? More like a childhood crush I couldn't shake. He was the boy who stole my heart and vanished without a trace. Prestigious universities called my name, but my heart stubbornly clung to the hope he'd return, that he'd finally choose me. But reality had other plans.

Now, my new best friend needs a fake girlfriend to keep his focus on school and away from heartache. But there's a problem – I can't tear my eyes away from his charming teammate. Will I be the one to let my best friend down? Or can I resist the magnetic pull of attraction?

Erik

Japan was never my plan, but sometimes you have to make sacrifices for love. I left her behind to live her life, free from my heartache. A decision that haunted me every day.

When the letter from our dream university arrived, I couldn't resist. This was my chance to find her again, to see if our love still burned bright. But fate had different plans – I found her in the arms of my captain, a sight that shattered my heart.

Can Becca and Erik rekindle their love against all odds? Or are they destined to remain as almost lovers, with a story left unfinished?
