Olivia Simon is starting over in the Big Easy. Her new job as a yoga instructor means she gets to pursue her passion, while giving her the motivation she needs to get back on track. But she’s scared. Really scared. Scared her abusive ex-boyfriend will find her. Scared of all things that go bump in the night… and day. She knows her ex will have a claim on her future happiness unless she can find her own peace. Which starts with Kyle.
Kyle Avery, a former college baseball player on the brink of going pro, is also starting over. His dream since Little League was shattered when a jealous rival went too far in a pre-season game. After a few surgeries, all Kyle is left with are a few rods in his leg, a rebuilt knee, and no idea who he is without baseball. But when he trades center field for a yoga mat, he finds solace in a way he never imagined. Kyle knows there’s something about Olivia. Something he needs to move forward.
But Olivia loves to run, and it’s too soon for her to be playing house. Olivia and Kyle want to invest in each other, but the secrets they’ve kept take a dangerous turn when Olivia’s past returns with a vengeance. Devastated and helpless, Olivia wonders who she can really trust, and Kyle questions if he was ever able to keep her safe
“Hey, is everything okay?” A deep Southern
accent floats into my ear. I startle backwards and drop my yoga mat, colliding
with the hotter, tattooed-god version of Captain America.
“Oh my gosh, are you all right? I’m so, so sorry.” My fingers tighten around the strap of my bag. The past six months have been a nightmare, no matter how much I tell myself otherwise. Now I can tack humiliation onto my heartbreak.
His messy blond hair and milk-chocolate eyes are an instant comfort to my day. He bends to pick up my yoga mat and I try not to stare as his shirt rides up, exposing a hard, muscled side. “I’m fine,” he says as he hands me the mat. “Are you sure you’re all right?”
“No, yes … I don’t know.” I shake my head, mortified at my rambling. (Olivia, Chapter One)

"Somehow in the midst of our conversation about junk food, she lightens up enough for me to take my chance to draw her out again. I keep the conversation strictly Man vs. Food vs. Cute Shy Girl as long as I can. I can sense something different inside her, like the real person under the surface is screaming at me for help. Because when she lets her guard down, even for a moment, she’s different. She seems fun, kind, and compassionate. Not the person she thinks she probably needs to be, someone who pushes everyone away.
I know someone like that. Me." (Kyle, Chapter Four)

Sophie Lira grew up smack
dab in the middle of New Jersey. As a self-proclaimed sports junkie she can
usually be found rooting for the New York Yankees, Baltimore Ravens, and
especially her Alma Mater, Rutgers University. She's also a seasoned beer snob
with a preference for crisp pilsners, pumpkin anything, and chocolatey stouts.
Her number one passion outside of writing is her never-ending wanderlust.
Sophie is always looking for her next batch of frequent flier miles, passport
stamps, and the perfect clouds to post on Instagram. She still resides in
Central New Jersey and spends her days at an Industrial Design firm working in
HR. Favorite things include: Dunkin' Donuts coconut iced coffee, the Olympics,
all-you-can-eat sushi, and Siberian Huskies.
