They broke up to save their futures. Now their futures are here—and so are the feelings they never really left behind.
Months after the scandal that blew up their secret relationship, Maya Singh and Liam Hayes are no longer the campus disaster everyone whispers about. She’s clawed her way back from an ethics hearing and kept her scholarship. He’s captained Briarwood’s hockey team through the noise and finally learned to say the word “anxiety” out loud.
They’re not together. But they’re not exactly over, either.
When the university launches a mental health initiative and asks them to co-host a new podcast about pressure, burnout, and student life, Maya and Liam end up back in a recording studio—this time with ground rules, a counselor in the room, and microphones catching every crack in their voices.
On air, they’re honest, sharp, and strangely in sync. Off air, they’re two exes trying very hard not to fall into old patterns while the entire campus listens in.
Then real life gets bigger than Briarwood.
Liam is offered a shot with a pro team. Maya gets into her dream media program in New York.
Halifax and NYC. Different countries. Different time zones. Same two hearts that still haven’t figured out how to stop choosing each other.
Now “can we make this work?” becomes late-night video chats from bus seats and tiny apartments, voice notes between practices and seminars, and a long-distance relationship built on midnight calls and a promise to be honest when the distance starts to hurt.
They’ve already learned how to burn everything down for love. This time, they have to learn how to build a life where love doesn’t mean losing themselves.
Midnight Calls is an emotional, hopeful conclusion to Living With Red Flags,
a second-chance romance that grows up instead of blowing up
co-hosting a mental health podcast and talking about feelings on purpose
a hockey dream finally within reach—and the fear of what it might cost
grad school in a new city, new impostor syndrome, same old heart
late-night calls, missed connections, and a hard-won HEA that feels real
For readers who like their college sports romance with actual adulthood on the horizon—careers, therapy, plane tickets, and choosing each other again and again—Midnight Calls gives Maya and Liam the ending they’ve fought for since the first hate kiss.
I’m very happy with this short series! It’s very well written and as short as it is it doesn’t feel rushed! I also love “brain radio” that’s become apart of my vocabulary and let’s just say I need my brain radio to shut up sometimes.
