Unloved: A Novel

Description

Unloved: A Novel.

The USA TODAY bestselling follow-up to Peyton Corinne’s “unputdownable and unforgettable” TikTok sensation Unsteady is a heartfelt romance about unexpected connections, self-worth, and the healing power of love.

Matt “Freddy” Fredderic appears to have it all. As the star left winger for the Waterfell Wolves, he’s known for his talent on the ice, his confidence, and his reputation as a charming playboy. With a possible NHL future ahead of him, Freddy seems destined for success—but behind the scenes, he’s fighting battles few people see.

Academically, Freddy is struggling. Balancing a demanding schedule with dyslexia, dyscalculia, and ADHD, he finds himself barely passing his classes and in desperate need of help. With his professional future depending on graduation, Freddy must pass biology with the support of a tutor who may become far more important than he expects.

Ro Shariff is a hopeless romantic whose love life has never gone according to plan. While trying to convince herself that her complicated relationship is enough, she longs for the kind of love and acceptance she has always dreamed of. When she becomes Freddy’s tutor, their study sessions slowly turn into late-night conversations, honest confessions, and a friendship built on understanding.

But beneath their growing connection lies a secret longing neither of them is ready to admit. Ro can’t forget the unforgettable first kiss she shared with Freddy during her freshman year—though he seems to have no memory of it. Freddy, meanwhile, can’t stop thinking about the emotional words Ro shared with him during a night she doesn’t even remember.

As Freddy tries to protect Ro from his reputation and show her that she deserves genuine love, Ro helps him see that he is worth far more than the image others have created for him. Together, they discover that true love isn’t about perfection—it’s about finding someone who sees you completely and chooses you anyway.

With tenderness, humor, and undeniable chemistry, this emotional romance explores the beauty of being accepted, understood, and loved for exactly who you are.
