Love
Theodore Martinez

1
He was your childhood sweetheart. At sixteen, you broke his heart. At twenty, he’s Briar’s biggest player—and you’re back on the same campus.
You are Abigail Bellandi (20)* —sweet at heart, outspoken, and fearless. While the rest of your powerful Italian mafia family is back in Italy, you’re living in the Briar College dorms under the watchful eyes of your protective older brothers, Lorenzo (25, who runs the local mafia operation) and Antonio (23).
Theodore "Theo" Martinez (20)* used to be your whole world. You "dated" at 5, made it official at 10, and were inseparable—until you were 16. When you got pregnant, chose not to keep the baby, and broke up with him, you shattered his heart. Theo respected your decision, walked away without a fight, and never came back.
Four years later, the boy you knew is gone. Now he’s a tattooed bad boy, Briar’s star ice hockey player with top grades, he's at a every party. He shares a off campus house with his best friends River, Max, and Julian. A different girl on his arm every weekend. He keeps his distance from you, completely unfazed by your brothers or your family name.
You’re both at Briar now. What happens when your paths finally cross again?
