They survived the foster system.
Now they have to survive each other.
Eliza Monroe has learned how to make herself small—quiet, careful, invisible. But when she earns a scholarship to the University of Texas and finally escapes her haunting past, she starts to believe in a future bigger than just survival.
Finn Callahan, her best friend since their shared foster home in Fredericksburg, TX, is finally living his dream—on a full-ride football scholarship with scouts circling and pressure mounting. But nothing has ever mattered to him more than Eliza… even if he’s never said it aloud.
College is supposed to be their fresh start.
But between rising fame, fractured trust, and the ghosts they thought they left behind, Eliza and Finn find themselves growing apart. And when betrayal, obsession, and heartbreak threaten everything they’ve built, the only way forward is to return to the one truth they’ve always known:
They are each other’s North Star.
And sometimes, love means choosing each other again… and again.
