Only Ever You

Some connections are impossible to forget, even when heartbreak makes moving forward seem like the only option. In Only Ever You, Anastasija White introduces readers to Isla Walker and Michael Thompson, childhood best friends whose relationship changes after a painful misunderstanding tears them apart. What once felt like an unbreakable connection becomes a complicated history neither has truly managed to leave behind. For Isla, figure skating is more than a passion. It is the foundation of her Olympic ambitions and the place where she has learned to overcome setbacks. Having placed fifth at the previous Olympic Games, she remains determined to pursue gold. Returning to Golden Bay University, however, brings her face-to-face with Michael, the person she would rather avoid. Michael is building his own future in professional hockey while struggling with the expectations attached to his family's legacy. Despite their separation, he has never stopped caring about Isla. When their paths cross again, unresolved feelings, old assumptions, and unanswered questions make it difficult to ignore their shared past. Told through dual perspectives, this romance explores childhood friendship, emotional separation, second chances, personal ambition, and the challenges of rebuilding trust. Readers can expect a combination of university life, competitive sports, romantic tension, and an emotional journey toward reconciliation. Ideal for readers who enjoy hockey romance, figure-skating romance, childhood-friends-to-lovers stories, and second-chance relationships, this novel offers an engaging combination of athletic ambition and heartfelt romance.
