In a town where legacy is everything, Aiden Hart is the perfect son the mayor’s pride, the football star, and the boy everyone bets on. But when Kieran Monroe returns from juvie with tattoos, shadows in his eyes, and a past no one wants to talk about, Aiden's carefully built world begins to crack.
They were never friends. They barely spoke. But now, Kieran is everywhere at school, in Aiden’s thoughts, and lurking behind every unspoken truth. The more Aiden tries to ignore him, the more impossible it becomes. Because Kieran isn’t just a reminder of what the town wants to forget he’s a threat to everything Aiden thought he knew about himself.
Secrets simmer, old scars resurface, and one wrong move could destroy everything. In this slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers high school romance, reputation is everything—and falling in love might just ruin them both.
