I'm not his to protect, but the NFL's bad boy has never been one to follow the rules.

Seven years ago, I was living my dream life. Supportive family, amazing friends, admission into my dream college... And a secret relationship with my brother's best friend.

Zane and I had it all worked out until one horrific moment tore our worlds apart, sending us spiralling in different directions.

Now he's making headlines for all the wrong reasons, while I'm drifting through life, dating his biggest rival.

But just as I start questioning my future, Zane reappears. He was never supposed to come back, yet here he is, reminding me of my worth, begging me to walk away from a man who never truly valued me.

Everything has changed, yet he's the sameβ€”confident, charismatic, and looking at me with fire still burning in his eyes. It's impossible to pretend he's not the incredible man I once knew.

I try to keep my distance, but for the first time since losing it all, I'm starting to find my strength. And it's all thanks to Zane's unwavering support.

But it turns out, I'm not the only one who's broken, and the only way forward is to face the past... together.

Careless Storm is a second chance sports romance full of angst, banter and emotion. This steamy romance contains adult language and themes with storylines that may be triggering. A list of potential triggers is available on my website www.katherinejayauthor.com.
