Be My Baby by Kris Bradley (New)

Janie has spent her whole life fading into the background as the friend no one quite remembers, and the woman men forget by morning. While her friends collect attention like it costs nothing, Janie has learned to live on the edges — present, overlooked, and waiting.

She doesn't know someone has already chosen her.

Between early morning runs, wine-drenched nights with the only people who've ever truly seen her, and the ache of wanting to matter to someone, Janie is searching for a version of love she's not even convinced exists. She doesn't know that somewhere close — closer than she could imagine — someone has been watching her for longer than she knows. Memorizing her patterns. Learning her rhythms. Waiting for the moment she stops being someone they watch and becomes someone they own.

Some people wait to be noticed. Janie is about to learn what happens when someone refuses to wait any longer.
