War of words. Stolen glares. Accidental run-ins… that don’t feel accidental at all.
Ryder Monroe wants me gone. Too bad I’m not leaving.
I finally found a place where I belong—new friends, late-night bonfires, and the kind of freedom I never thought I’d get. After everything I’ve been through, I’m finally learning how to live again.
This summer was supposed to be about moving forward.
Instead, I’m finding out everyone has been keeping secrets.
The people I trust the most think they’re protecting me. They think they know what I can handle. They think hiding the truth will keep me from falling apart.
But they’re wrong.
And somehow, the only person willing to tell me the truth is the one person who drives me completely insane.
Ryder Freaking Monroe.
He’s sarcastic, stubborn, and way too good at getting under my skin. Every conversation turns into a battle. Every argument feels like a challenge. He pushes. I push back harder.
But just when I think I’ve figured him out, Ryder shows me the side of himself no one else gets to see—guarded, honest, and far more vulnerable than I expected.
Because Ryder doesn’t see me as someone who needs to be protected.
He sees me.
The real me.
The girl who laughs too loud, feels too much, and is still learning that what happened to her doesn’t define who she is.
Now I’m caught between the life I’ve fought so hard to rebuild and the one person who makes me question everything I thought I wanted.
Between the boy who feels like safety…
And the boy who makes me brave enough to be honest.
Because sometimes the hardest part of healing isn’t becoming stronger.
It’s letting the people you love believe that you already are.
