Second Position by Sydney Madison
For fans of One Tree Hill and Gossip Girl...
She's caught between loyalty and a longing she can't ignore. He's built walls to protect a heart that's never known first place.
Genevieve Dupont is used to giving her all. And it’s easy to do, when you love something as much as she loves ballet, love someone as much as she loves Will Chapman—her best friend and the Astor Lions’ star basketball player. But Will is spiraling and after a lifetime of her mother’s disdain, Gen wonders if she’s neglected her own desires in hopes that one day she’ll be enough. So when a reckless deal ignites a surprising thrill–losing her virginity to the one teammate Will can’t stand–she finds herself saying yes. What Gen doesn’t expect is for the golden boy to challenge every belief she holds about love, and soon, she's hurtling toward a choice she never anticipated.
Grant Fielder’s charmed life, a world away from his impoverished past, demands unwavering loyalty–or so he thinks. Being a dutiful son, a good friend, a loyal teammate feels as essential as breathing, even if his true desires whisper otherwise. He's perfected this role, if only to fend off ever feeling abandoned again, until the reckless games of his privileged peers become something he can’t ignore. What started as a simple deal soon blossoms into something more, but when you’ve always come second, it feels impossible to believe you could really be first.
Their undeniable passion will force them to choose between the comfort of what they’ve known and a love that could destroy them both.
Second Position is the second book in the Astor Hill series and can be read as a standalone, but reading in order is recommended.
Meena’s Reading Vibe
Perfect for your “I just want to feel everything” kind of mood. This one’s a story about second chances, unspoken desires, and learning that love doesn’t have to hurt to be real.
Read it with: cozy earmuffs on, a peppermint mocha in hand, and your favorite playlist of soft heartbreak bops on repeat.

from 42 reviewsThe packaging was super cute and well packed. I was surprised to see the box was personalized. Thank you!! I can’t wait to jump into my new read.
The packaging was beautiful i didnt even want to open it to damage how well put together it was. Tysm
The book is a birthday gift for my wife. I have not opened the package yet because the box and packaging is far better than I could ever hope for. Just hope it’s the deluxe version she’s been wanting when she opens it
I ordered a signed novel online and am immensely impressed with this shop, as well as devastated that I don't have the privilege of being close enough to visit in person. Ambia was very responsive and patient with a question I had regarding shipping. The book was packed with the utmost care and arrived in perfect condition. She included the sweetest treats and trinkets along with the book. This will definitely be my first stop if I'm considering an online book purchase.
This was packed so sweetly with bunch of goodies (made me smile indeed)love this book and had to buy in pb. Lovely store 🖤
Packaged with care in the cutest packaging I’ve ever seen! Will definitely be purchasing from here again and highly recommend!

Ambia went over and beyond in the presentation and packaging of my order. Completely blown away! It was like opening up a box of sunshine—so grateful and impressed. Thank you. Will definitely be shopping here again! 🖤

Thank you so much for everything!A true love for your business and we can see it by the care of product package and customer service :)
One of my favourite books from the last few months! LVED IT! Can't waiter book 2 to be released!
I had the pleasure of reading an ARC copy from the author and so happy to have pre-ordered a physical copy with Ambia! The book is perfect short read for days when you’re in the mood for something a little spooky, paranormal with steamy romance all rolled in one!
Very well crafted and the design works perfectly with my off-white bookshelves.
