Fall Out

by Hope Lennix

Beatrice Thompson has always been the responsible one.

At twenty-one, she’s juggling a new teaching job, a shoebox apartment, and full-time guardianship of her toddler brother. She barely has time to breathe, let alone fall apart. So when the man who once broke her heart walks back into her life—stoic, infuriating, impossible to ignore—she does what she always she survives it.

Callum Post was raised to be perfect.

Perfect grades. Perfect smile. Perfect puppet for the powerful father who controls every part of his future. Now, he’s just trying to enjoy his last year of freedom his way, before he’s forced back to the life that’s waiting for him.

What starts as a one-night stand slips into late nights working side by side, shared takeout, and quiet evenings with her little family—everything Callum knows he has no right wanting.

He’s leaving, and Bea can’t risk loving someone who won’t stay. Now they’re both being confronted with the truths they’ve been avoiding—Bea’s past, and Callum’s choice between the life he was handed and the unpredictable, beautiful one he never expected.
