Never Tear Us Apart (Curveballs & Kisses, #1) - eBook

Two years ago, Cruz and Ellery crossed a line they could never uncross.

Since then, Cruz has done everything he can to forget her, the stepsister he was never supposed to want. With a future in The Majors within reach, the former All-American is focused on one thing: having one last carefree summer with his friends. Just beaches, parties, and zero complications.

Ellery is done with the life she was born into. Done with the pearls, expectations, and quiet rules of southern society. With college on the horizon, she’s ready to start over. Life on her own terms, filled with good music, great coffee, and no judgement. But before she leaves, she has one goal: to uncover the truth behind the whispers threatening her late father’s legacy.

When fate brings them back to Cherry Cove, the glittering seaside town where they first collided, old feelings reignite as buried secrets rise to the surface, forcing Cruz and Ellery to make a choice: forget the past and their feelings to protect their parent’s marriage, or risk everything for the truth, and a love that was never meant to be.

Walking away would be the safer play. But when it comes to love and family, playing it safe has never won the game.
