Falling for the guy who broke my heart years ago wasn’t on my to-do list when I snuck into his condo.
Maverick Walker was my best friend, my safe place—the boy I trusted with my whole
heart—until one reckless kiss in high school ruined everything.
Now, he’s an NFL
football player, and I’m a struggling small-town hairstylist, newly single and expecting a
baby. With my ex gone and someone vandalizing my business, my life feels like it’s
crumbling beneath me.
When my best friend Paige suggests hiding out in Maverick’s swanky condo to regroup
while he’s recovering from an injury in New York, it seems like a lifeline.
Except he comes home.
Unexpectedly. When I’m half-dressed.
Now I’m stuck in his orbit again, unprepared for the way he still makes my heart race.
Maverick is charming, ridiculously hot, and as off-limits as ever. But I have bigger
problems than his smoldering smile—like figuring out who’s targeting me and why they
won’t stop.
As the threats escalate, so do Maverick’s protective instincts. But with his life in New
York and mine in Texas, our worlds couldn’t be further apart.
And yet, with danger
closing in, his arms are the only safe haven I have left.
But how do I let him protect me without risking my heart again—when loving him feels
as out of reach as a falling star?

🎧Audiobook Review🎧
I absolutely loved this story the second time around. Baylee has been in love with her best friend for a while. So, when she takes her shot, he rejects her. And their friendship hasn’t been the same since.
Now Maverick plays for the NFL and Baylee is still back home, running her mom's hair salon. But now Baylee is pregnant and her boyfriend wants to get back together with his ex. Her salon’s rent is going up and she’s about to lose her house. When her friend offers Maverick's condo till, they can sort out something, she has no choice.
But then Maverick comes home after an injury to recover and seems like her feelings back then wasn’t so one sided…
I totally enjoyed this audio. The eBook was great and the audio even better. The narrators were definitely spot on for me. Michael Gallagher totally made me fall in love with Maverick all over. Maverick was amazing with Baylee and her little one. Ruby Corazon, first time for me, but she brough Baylee’s character to life. The hard working, stubborn can take care of herself attitude came through amazingly.
Totally loved the narrators, the story and the characters 😊
Meet Lex Martin:
Lex Martin is the USA Today bestselling author of Varsity Dads, Texas Nights, and the Dearest series. She writes contemporary romance novels, the steamy kind she hopes readers love but her parents avoid.
She’s always been obsessed with writing, starting in elementary school when she would pen short stories and make her father read them. (Afterward, he’d have to take her tests, but he was a good sport and did them without complaint.)
In high school, when she wasn’t playing basketball, she wrote emo poetry (that won awards, go figure) and worked on the school newspaper.
She later became a nationally-certified high school English teacher and freelance journalist but decided she’d rather write romance novels than tests or city hall articles.
Lex loves coffee, rom coms, pen hoarding, planners, and college football. She married her almost college sweetheart (they met right after graduation), and she’s still obsessed with him, especially when he writes her songs.
She currently resides in her hometown of San Antonio with her husband, twin daughters, a bunny, and their new puppy. Drop her a line at lex (at) lexmartinwrites.com. She loves hearing from readers.
