When Chicago Claimed My Heart

Kaylani Carrington never planned to fall for the boy she met during her senior transfer year in Chicago, but one look at Jaxsen Bishop and her heart made a choice her mind couldn’t undo. Years later, fate brings them back together at the worst and best possible time, when dreams are rising, past wounds are reopening, and desire refuses to die quietly.

Jaxsen, now one of the league’s most unstoppable players, has everything he ever fought for… except the woman he never stopped loving. And when she walks back into his world thicker, stronger, and more breathtaking than he remembers, the battle between his career and his heart becomes impossible to ignore.

Their chemistry? Unmatched. Their timing? Terrible. Their connection? Unbreakable, even when distance, secrets, and choices threaten to tear them apart for good.

From Atlanta’s bright skyline to Chicago’s cold nights to London’s high-stakes corporate world, Kaylani and Jax must navigate passion, loyalty, ambition, and the kind of love that demands sacrifice.

He’s ready to claim forever. She’s terrified to lose herself again. But some hearts aren’t meant to move on, they’re meant to be fought for.

A story about choosing love, choosing yourself, and learning that some connections don’t fade… they follow and claim you.
