From New York Times bestseller Lexi Ryan comes a sexy new standalone romance in the bestselling Boys of Jackson Harbor series. Meet single dad Easton Connor as he leaves the NFL and returns to Jackson Harbor to fight for another chance with the love of his life. *** I don’t regret much. Not my decision to enter the NFL draft before finishing college. Not fighting for custody of my daughter—even if, biologically speaking, it turns out she’s not mine. And certainly not seducing my buddy’s little sister ten years ago. But when it comes to Shayleigh Jackson, my no-regrets attitude stops there. I screwed up royally where she’s concerned. Then I made another mistake when I let her shut me out of her life. Now after more than a decade living in different time zones, I’m coming home to Jackson Harbor. My first priority is keeping my daughter away from the media circus in Los Angeles, but the moment I see Shay, I know something else brought me back here. Now I’ll stop at nothing to win her back. So what if she won’t speak to me? So what if she’s changed? So what if she’s fallen for some douchebag professor? I’ve never gotten over her, and I know she feels the same about me. I’ve let her go twice. I won’t make that mistake again. If It's Only Love and all other books in this series can be read as standalones, but you'll enjoy reading them together.

If It's Only Love delivers a powerfully emotional return to Jackson Harbor—where passion, regret, and redemption collide. Easton Connor’s journey from NFL stardom to small-town single fatherhood is both grounded and gripping. His raw, unfiltered voice—full of self-awareness and quiet intensity—immediately pulls readers into his world. The slow-burn tension with Shayleigh feels earned, layered with ten years of silence, miscommunication, and undeniable chemistry.
What sets If It's Only Love apart is its emotional authenticity. Lexi Ryan avoids clichés by giving both leads real agency: Shayleigh isn’t waiting passively—she’s built a life, set boundaries, and guarded her heart fiercely. Easton’s growth isn’t just about winning her back; it’s about accountability, humility, and showing up *consistently*. The dual POVs deepen empathy, while the small-town setting adds warmth and stakes—every glance, every shared memory, every reluctant smile lands with impact.
From the first charged reunion to the final, tender resolution, this novel delivers cathartic satisfaction. The “douchebag professor” rivalry? Deliciously tense. The custody subplot? Heart-wrenchingly real. And the love scenes? Smoldering, intimate, and deeply rooted in history—not just heat. You’ll cheer, sigh, and maybe even tear up—not because things go perfectly, but because they go *truthfully*. It’s romance at its most mature, magnetic, and moving.
