Living under a new name in a quiet city, Isabella is a survivor-sharp-eyed, secretive, and always prepared to run. But when she transfers to a prestigious academy, two of the school's most feared students take notice: Antonio and Francesco Moretti. Cold, calculating, untouchable-until now. They don't know why they're drawn to her. Why she feels like something familiar. Why their guarded silence begins to crack around her laugh, her pain, her presence.
