PRETEND YOU’RE MINE (#1 Hargrove series)
968 Views · Ongoing · Eko Chidimma
The last person Nora Ellis expected to see walk into that production room was Callum Reid.
The last thing she needed was eight weeks of cameras and forced proximity and the specific kind of silence that only existed between people who used to know each other completely.
Cal needs this show to save his scholarship. His reputation. Everything his father worked toward and never got to see. He doesn’t need the girl who disappeared three years ago without a single word of explanation standing behind a camera watching him like she already knows the ending.
The problem is — she might.
Because Nora knows what Cal looks like before he breaks. She knows what hockey means to him beneath the glory. She knows the phrase that meant the world is too loud and you’re the only quiet I have.
She knows all of it.
What she doesn’t know is how to want him without destroying everything else she loves.
Penalty Heart is a dual POV new adult romance about the price of silence, the weight of loyalty, and what happens when the person you’ve been protecting yourself from turns out to be the only person who ever really saw you.
