Book Description
"Some mistakes can't be forgiven or left behind. Some mistakes leave a mark on us and we have to carry their consequences forever." Hazel Six years ago, my life fell apart and ever since I was living within those broken pieces. Until I met him. The moment I walked into the Starbucks on my first day of work and laid eyes on him, everything changed. He saw me. For the first time in three years, I wasn't invisible. I've grown used to staying on the sidelines and living in the shadows until I met him. Aiden Hitchings was my father's favorite player. Our university's soccer star. The one who lived in the spotlight. I knew I shouldn't have tempted fate, but falling for him wasn't a choice. History was about to repeat itself, and I couldn't do anything to stop it. Aiden Last year of college was going to be epic. Juggling our NCAA Championship, coursework and my part-time job at Starbucks wasn't easy, but it was all going to pay off once I signed my professional contract. That was before she walked in. The hazel-eyed girl with a sharp tongue, the one who always blended into the background, was staring right back at me. The Coach's daughter, one I should have avoided at any cost but kept being drawn to. She shattered my carefully built-up world and inked herself deep into my soul. But she carried a secret with her that stood between us, slowly breaking us. And for the first time in my life, I lost control and I felt helpless.

Book Description
A heartfelt novel about a softball-loving girl coming to terms with her parents’ humanity after a scandal sends shock waves through her town Bea’s parents think she can accomplish absolutely anything—and she’s determined to prove them right. But at the end of seventh grade, on the same day she makes a gutsy play to send her softball team to the league championships and Xander, the boy she likes, makes it clear that he likes her too, a scandal shakes up her world. Bea’s dad made a big mistake, taking money that belonged to a client. He’s now suspended from practicing law, and another lawyer spread the news online. To make matters worse, that other lawyer is Xander’s dad. Bea doesn’t want to be angry with her dad, especially since he feels terrible and is trying to make things right. But she can't face the looks of pity from all her friends, and then she starts missing throws in softball because she’s stuck in her own head. The thing she was best at seems to be slipping out of her fingers along with her formerly happy family. She's not sure what's going to be harder—learning to throw again, or forgiving her dad. How can she be the best version of herself when everything she loves is falling apart?
