He was older. Untouchable. Completely out of reach.

But from the moment I landed in Brett arms, everything changed.

As the daughter of a senator, I’ve spent most of my life doing what I’m told.

Smile. Speak politely. Look the part.

I’ve played by everyone else’s rules. Until the day a clumsy fall and a crooked smile cracked something wide open inside me.

Brett is twelve years older, the son of a powerful country club CEO, and the last man anyone would ever approve of me being with.

But he doesn’t see the version of me they do.

He sees more.

With him, I feel free. Real. Like I’m not just someone’s daughter or someone’s puppet.

I fall. Hard. Fast. Completely.

But not everyone wants us together.

Between a jealous ex, my controlling father, and a stepmother who’s always found a way to make me feel small, our love story feels doomed from the start.

Still, I can’t let go of the hope that maybe this is how it was always meant to be.

 

Meant to Be is a swoon-worthy standalone set in the world of the Heart’s Collide series. It’s about breaking free, choosing yourself, and falling for the one person you were never supposed to love.
