Chapter Overview

Description

If Only You follows Sigrid “Ziggy” Bergman—an autistic rising soccer star who’s done being underestimated—and Sebastian Gauthier, a scandal-plagued NHL bad boy spiraling toward career disaster. After Ziggy overhears teammates belittling her and Sebastian crashes his own life into headlines, Ziggy proposes a plan: they’ll be seen together as “friends,” letting her gain edge and him gain credibility.

What starts as a calculated image swap becomes an unexpectedly tender partnership. Ziggy’s blunt honesty pushes Sebastian toward accountability, therapy, and healthier choices; Sebastian’s unfiltered confidence helps Ziggy claim space in her family and in public. As their bond deepens through “angry yoga,” family chaos, celiac diagnosis, and hard truths about childhood harm and self-sabotage, the question shifts from whether they can sell the friendship to whether they can survive wanting more.

Who Should Listen

  • Romance listeners who love “fake relationship / public image” setups that turn into real intimacy and found family.
  • Readers who want neurodivergent representation (autism) and chronic illness representation (celiac) handled as lived realities, not plot props.
  • Fans of emotionally intense, open-door contemporary romance with humor, strong family dynamics, and healing arcs.
