Variation 🌸


In Rebecca Yarros' latest novel, we meet elite ballerina Allie Rousseau, who has spent her life chasing perfection under the watchful eyes of her demanding mother.


But when an injury threatens to derail her career, Allie retreats to her summer home, hoping to heal both physically and emotionally.


However, the painful memories she's tried to bury quickly resurface, threatening to overwhelm her.


Enter Hudson Ellis.


A Coast Guard rescue swimmer who knows all too well the weight of hesitation. Hudson has always prided himself on being there when it mattered most, especially for Allie—until the night he left her behind to pursue his dreams.


Haunted by regret and burdened by secrets, he’s convinced that being with Allie again is impossible.


When Hudson’s niece unexpectedly appears on Allie’s doorstep, searching for her birth mother, Allie is thrust into a situation she never imagined. As old wounds reopen and the complexities of their past come rushing back, the bond between Allie and Hudson is tested in ways neither of them expected.


Their shared history might have unravelled, but the truth has the power to either pull them back together or keep them apart forever.


The tension between Hudson and Allie is palpable from the start, and the flashbacks that reveal their past add a bittersweet depth to their relationship.


More than just a standard romance, this book is layered with themes of hope, family, love, and the resilience of the human spirit.


Rebecca Yarros masterfully weaves together a story that transcends the usual romance tropes, adding emotional grit and authenticity that will leave readers deeply invested in Hudson and Allie’s journey.
