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.

Grief changes people. For Iona rose White, it rewrote her entire life. After the death of her parents, Iona leaves Scotland behind and moves to Ballylaggin, carrying more than just her belongings with her. She carries trauma, depression, and memories she refuses to talk about. Over time, she finds friends who become her anchor, moments of happiness she didn't think she deserved, and a sense of belonging she never expected. But healing takes time. And sometimes it hurts before it helps. Cian Hughes grew up surrounded by noise-family dinners, muddy rugby boots by the door, laughter that carried through the house. He had everything a boy was supposed to have. Until he met Iona White. From the moment she entered his life, quiet and guarded, Cian felt something shift. Wanting to protect her came naturally. Loving her did too. But loving someone who is breaking teaches you lessons no one prepares you for.
