Friday Night Lights (Clearwater Confessions, Book 1)

ARC Details

Clearwater, Texas hides more than football under its Friday night lights. Rachel Turner thought she’d built a safe, ordinary life—marriage, motherhood, routines that looked good from the outside. But when she runs into Connor Hayes, the boy who once set her on fire, the past doesn’t just resurface. It consumes her.

What begins as a flicker of memory turns into a dangerous flame neither of them can ignore. Secrets are confessed in the shadows of the stadium, temptations are tasted in borrowed hours, and every stolen glance comes with the risk of exposure.

Friday Night Lights is a dark intimate story of love, betrayal, and the kind of hunger that doesn’t fade with time. It’s about what happens when old flames reignite—and when confessions can no longer be contained.

This is Book One of Clearwater Confessions—a novella-length series where no one walks away clean.

Friday Night Lights pulled me right back to my own high school years—the smell of the field, the Friday night energy, that heart-racing moment when someone you shouldn’t be thinking about suddenly looks your way. The nostalgia in these pages is so vivid it made me feel like I was seventeen again, even as I read it with my teenager getting ready for her own game upstairs.

What I loved most was how real the characters felt. Rachel isn’t some perfect heroine—she’s complicated, flawed, and deeply relatable. Connor is the one that got away, the “what if” that so many of us quietly wonder about. Their story is messy and honest, and it reminded me that life rarely gives us clean lines between right and wrong. If you’ve ever carried a secret crush or wondered about choices left behind, this book will stay with you.
