Overview

""For the ice queen who only ever wanted to be loved. Proof that even the coldest hearts can melt when the right hands hold the fire."" Five years ago, Gabriella Whitmore fled Crestview-and the boy she loved-without a goodbye. Now she's back to bury her aunt, rebuild the family flower shop, and face the wreckage she left behind. Johnny's anger still burns hotter than ever. Riley hides his heartbreak behind quiet loyalty. Tyler's smile masks a longing that never really went away. Bound by friendship and history, these men have their own scars-and the same woman they can't forget. But Gabriella didn't come home for love. She came back for survival, and to protect a secret that could tear them all apart. As truth rises from the ashes, the line between forgiveness and obsession blurs. Three men. One fractured past. A second chance that could either heal them... or shatter them all. A.J Bristox delivers a dark, emotional, slow-burn ""why choose"" romance full of small-town secrets, possessive men, heartbreak, and redemption. Contains: explicit consensual intimacy (MMFM), jealousy, pregnancy, grief, and emotional healing.

Author Information

A.J Bristox is a 30-year-old full-time mum of six who grew up in an Australian, car-enthused family where weekends were built around the roar of engines and the thrill of motorsport. When the chaos of motherhood quiets, she turns to books-first as a reader seeking escape, and now as a writer shaping her own stories. Her debut, [Set Me Alight], is a heartfelt why-choose second chance romance exploring love, healing, and the strength found in vulnerability. Her second release will be a series that dives into high-octane action and suspense in the world of underground and professional auto racing. A story of legacy, secrecy, and survival on and off the track, it marks the beginning of a larger saga-with more races, more danger, and more heart still to come. Whether she's writing about tangled love or the thrill of the finish line, her stories always return to the same core: resilience, passion, and finding your place when the odds are stacked against you.
