For You I'd Mend

A Small Town, Friends-to-Lovers Romance

He’s the tattooed bad boy who doesn’t believe he deserves love.

She’s the one woman he can’t seem to let go.

Poppy knows what she wants—and it’s Theo.
Tall, tattooed, and quietly intense, he’s exactly her type. But unlike her disaster exes, Theo’s bad-boy looks hide a gentle soul. But after a year of flirting and hinting, she’s still stuck in the friend zone. And with her sister now engaged to his best friend, avoiding Theo isn’t an option.

She’s done waiting.

If he won’t make a move, she’s ready to move on.

Theo has spent years punishing himself for a tragedy he can’t undo. Relationships, comfort, and anything resembling happiness? Off-limits. But Poppy—confident, talented, impossible to ignore—has become the one indulgence he can’t quit.

When someone new starts vying for her attention, Theo is forced to face a truth:
If he doesn’t fight for her now, he might lose more than her friendship.
