Tadhg Lynch doesn't talk about the pain. Not the funeral. Not the silence at home. Not the way it feels to smile when everything inside is falling apart. He hides it behind noise-laughter, chaos, charm that doesn't quite reach his eyes. Until she shows up. Leah Daly is new to Tommen and not interested in making friends. Especially not loud-mouthed rugby boys with too many secrets and a habit of making everything a joke. But when their worlds collide-one quiet moment at a time-she begins to see the cracks he tries to cover. And he starts to realize she might be the only one who understands what it's like to hurt in silence. He pushes. She pushes back. Neither of them expected to fall. Enemies to lovers. Hurt/comfort. One loud boy and one girl who sees right through him. He's grief in motion. She's the calm after the storm. Together, they're impossible to ignore.

Iona White arrived in Ireland with nothing but a suitcase, a broken heart, and a silence she wore like armour. She didn't speak much - not about what happened in Glasgow, not about the scars that didn't show, and definitely not about the nightmares that still woke her up crying. To most people, she was the quiet cousin. The strange girl with too much grief in her eyes and a temper that cracked through when pushed. But to him - Cian Hughes's, number 5 on the school rugby team, childhood friend - she was the girl with the wild green eyes, the thick Scottish slang he couldn't always understand, and a sadness he couldn't seem to look away from. This isn't a love story born of soft beginnings. It's messy and bruised and healing. A story of found family, shattered pieces, and a boy who held her together without asking for her to be whole first. Sometimes, the strongest love stories are the ones you fight your way into.
