While It Lasts

Abbi Glines

When a DUI threatens to derail his baseball dreams, Cage York is forced to spend his summer working on a rural farm—a punishment that feels more like exile than redemption. There he encounters Eva Brooks, a grieving young woman still reeling from the loss of her childhood sweetheart, a soldier killed in Iraq. As Cage navigates the humbling reality of farm life and Eva guards her wounded heart, an unexpected chemistry ignites between two people determined to keep their distance. Abbi Glines crafts a poignant contemporary romance that explores second chances, healing, and the transformative power of connection when two broken souls collide. With authentic characters and emotional depth, this novel captures the messy, complicated journey toward forgiveness—both of others and ourselves.
