After a devastating injury sidelines him, Johnny Kavanagh struggles to hold onto his dreams. The one thing he’s certain of, however, is his feelings for Shannon Lynch. Traumatized by her return from Dublin and determined to protect her younger brothers, Shannon falls back into old patterns—concealing her past while trying to stay afloat. But when her deepest secret is exposed, everything hangs in the balance.

Immediately after finishing the prequel, I dove into Keeping 13, and I have no regrets. Johnny and Shannon’s story captivated me from the start, and I couldn’t wait to learn more. I loved the second book even more—it showcased how much the characters have grown and how their relationship has blossomed. I particularly appreciated the deeper development of Joey and the other supporting characters. This book was filled with painful moments, and Walsh handled their story with incredible respect. I was deeply satisfied with the ending and found a sense of closure that resonated with me.
