He was the last person she should ever fall for. So of course, her heart didn't stand a chance.

Zara has one plan: survive dental school at NYU, avoid drama, and never, ever fall for a hockey player?especially not her brother's best friend. But when Atlas, the charming and infuriatingly handsome defenseman of the Violets hockey team, accidentally sets fire to the house they share with friends, everything changes.

What starts as a guilty impulse to help turns into late-night conversations, undeniable chemistry, and a connection neither of them can explain?or resist.

Atlas has a past he doesn't talk about and a team he refuses to let down. Zara has a protective brother who would lose it if he knew the truth. But in the middle of secrets, book club gossip, and championship games, something real begins to grow between them.

And hiding it? That's becoming harder than either of them ever imagined.

If you love forbidden love, slow-burn tension, emotionally wounded athletes, and heroines who read spicy paperbacks in secret, The Last Person is your next favorite romance.
