Keeping 13

Keeping 13, the second book in Chloe Walsh's internationally bestselling series, continues the stirring and unforgettable love story that began with Binding 13. The Boys of Tommen series, a sensation on TikTok, delves deeply into the power and pain of first love, leaving readers with an indelible impression and the ultimate book hangover. In this sequel, Johnny Kavanagh is grappling with a life-changing injury that has not only taken him off the rugby field but also stripped him of his cherished number 13 jersey. As he struggles to find his footing and hold on to his dreams, Johnny becomes fixated on unraveling the mystery of Shannon Lynch, the girl with midnight-blue eyes who has a tight grip on his thoughts. Shannon is not new to pain; the life she leads demands secrecy and strength. Returning from Dublin traumatized and determined to protect her younger brothers, Shannon finds herself trapped in a cycle of lies and concealment. Her future seems to be slipping through her fingers, as she battles to keep her head above water. Johnny's persistence and deep affection are the balm for Shannon's bruised heart. He is the one person who might penetrate her towering defences. However, as their secrets start to unravel, the cascading revelations have the power to change their lives forever.
