Trust Me

Blair has always believed in fate. The quiet kind. The belief that suffering means something, that love arrives when it is meant to, and that if you are careful enough, the universe will eventually meet you halfway.

She is careful with control, with love, with hope. But beneath it all lives a stubborn, yellow optimism she has never been able to let go of.
When fate pulls her into danger one night, it leads her to Austin. A boy from a different world. A boy who does not believe in fate at all.
Austin believes in choices, consequences, and damage that does not disappear just because someone survives it. As their connection deepens, what begins as attraction turns into something heavier. Something harder to walk away from. And as the truth about his past comes to light, Blair finds herself falling for someone who threatens everything she believes about why pain exists.
Because loving Austin means risking the idea that love is promised. That healing is guaranteed. That things work out because they are meant to.
What if nothing happens for a reason?

Trust Me is a raw, intimate contemporary romance about desire without guarantees, hope under pressure, and learning how to choose each other even when the universe offers no reassurance. It explores themes of trauma, addiction, eating disorders, grief, and recovery through a deeply character-driven love story.Intended for mature readers.
