Always You

Amelia Khan is an ambitious pre-med senior with no room for distractions-until she crosses paths with Liam Brooks, a star hockey player and teaching assistant at BU's medical school. She feels an inexplicable pull toward him, unaware that he's the boy she once loved and forgot after a car accident four years ago erased every memory of him.

Liam is BU's golden boy-older, striking, and the subject of many students' attention. But behind his composed exterior lies a relentless focus fueled by grief and guilt. As the two are drawn together through mutual friends and chance encounters, long-buried secrets-and a complicated history-begin to surface, forcing Amelia to confront the past before she loses herself-and Liam-all over again.

Told through dual perspectives, Always You is a deeply emotional story about rediscovering love after loss and navigating the fragile journey of healing.
