✨ What happens after the ending you thought was final? ✨
Some connections don't stay buried, no matter how deep you try to push them. Some people leave marks that never really fade, even when the love seems like it's gone. And sometimes - in the cities that hold all your history - you look up and there they are. The one you've been trying to forget.
Joe and Riley's story didn't end when they thought it did. It just went quiet. Through anonymous gifts and careful distance, new hair colors and old wounds, they've both tried to move on while still carrying pieces of each other.
But now? The walls they've built are cracking. Because some things - the way he still feels like home, the way she still makes him forget how to breathe - don't just disappear because you want them to.
💔 The sequel to Hide is about what it means to love someone twice. To rebuild trust from nothing. To choose each other again, knowing exactly how much it can hurt. 💔

Joe Burrow: Touchdown in Love
In St. Louis, Julius has built a life he loves: a rewarding career, loyal friends, and an unapologetic obsession with the Cincinnati Bengals. Confident, openly gay, and comfortable in who he is, he isn't waiting for anyone to complete him. Joe Burrow has fame, records, money, and millions of eyes following his every move. What he doesn't have is much room to be anyone other than the version of himself the world expects. Then a charity gala puts them in the same room. An unexpected conversation becomes late-night texts, private jokes, weekend visits, and a connection neither can dismiss. For Julius, the quarterback he once admired from a distance becomes the man he knows when the cameras are gone. For Joe, Julius becomes one of the few people who expects nothing from him except honesty. But falling for each other is the easy part. Between two cities, an NFL career, public scrutiny, and a relationship neither is ready to explain, privacy grows harder to protect. As friendship becomes something deeper, Julius and Joe must decide how much they're willing to risk for a love neither saw coming.

Embered Fate ~ Joe Burrow
Book 2 Sequel to Orange Heart Embered Adjective: Something that retains a faint glow or warmth after the main source of heat has been extinguished. Their love set the world on fire. Now all that remains are the embers. Kenna Walker walked away from the only man who ever made her believe in forever-because he let someone else kiss him, and didn't stop her. The heartbreak didn't come with closure, only silence... and survival. Now she's in a new city, filming a new project, building a version of herself that doesn't flinch at his name. The kind of girl who keeps things light, keeps her personal life to herself, and shares one too many secrets with her co-star-the one she swore she'd never cross the line with. But grief doesn't follow rules. And sometimes, pretending it's just chemistry is easier than admitting it still hurts. Miles away, Joe Burrow is left with the wreckage of what they had-and what he ruined. Regret clings to him like a second skin. The pressure, the fame, the afternoon he didn't stop it-he'd take it all back if he could. But you can't rewind betrayal. Still, her name is a bruise he can't heal. Her memory, a heartbeat he can't quiet. And when fate throws them into the same orbit once more, neither of them is who they used to be. But maybe... the embers still are.
