Caldwell Moore has spent years building walls that no one can see through, not even his best friends. He's trying to make it through the school year, his loud jokes and laughter a distraction from his struggles with reading and writing, and how eating sometimes feels like something impossible. He's tired of hiding from everyone he knows, but he feels so secure in the lie that he doesn't know how to change. Greyson Hart is unashamed and doesn't care what anyone thinks of him. The new student with a loud attitude has no time to deal with Caldwell's arrogance and self-righteousness. Thrown together on a project and finding themselves running into each other more than often, the pair have to confront their struggles and learn how to tolerate each other. But neither of them hate the tension that grows between them: the stolen glances, a brush of fingers and a stuttering of breath. They share vulnerability, something that scares the two of them more than they care to admit. Their feelings for each other are strong, dangerous. But could their desire be the very thing that could ruin them?
