More Than Maybe (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798295892929)

At the University of Alabama, Evan Baxter is impossible to ignore. As the starting quarterback with NFL scouts watching his every move, Evan has spent years perfecting the version of himself the world expects to see-confident, charming, untouchable. But beneath the image is someone exhausted by pressure, haunted by grief, and quietly terrified that the life everyone envies may not actually be the one he wants.

Ivy, on the other hand, has mastered the art of disappearing. Shy, guarded, and deeply insecure about the learning struggles and anxiety she has hidden for most of her life, Ivy moves through college believing she is someone people overlook rather than remember. She keeps her world small, her walls high, and her heart protected, convinced that being invisible is safer than risking rejection.

When Evan unexpectedly takes an interest in her, Ivy assumes it is temporary. People like him do not notice girls like her-not really. But what begins as an impulsive decision soon turns into something neither of them can control. Through late-night study sessions, football Saturdays, quiet conversations, and moments that slowly strip away every defense they have built, Evan and Ivy begin to see each other more honestly than anyone else ever has.

As their relationship deepens, so do the secrets surrounding it. Evan is forced to confront the guilt of the choice that first brought Ivy into his life, while Ivy finds herself torn between the fear of trusting someone and the fear of losing the one person who finally makes her feel seen. With friendships unraveling, pressure mounting from every direction, and betrayal threatening to destroy everything they have built, both of them must decide whether love can survive the truth-or whether some wounds change people forever.

More Than Maybe is an emotional and character-driven college romance about loneliness, identity, ambition, grief, and the life-changing vulnerability of being loved for exactly who you are.
