Love. Secrets. Discovering the truth. Book 1 in the Oakwood High series. Emma's always lived in the background-shy, anxious, and used to being invisible. But everything changes when she crosses paths with Luke Holt. He's the school's bad boy. Mysterious. Untouchable. The kind of guy who doesn't let anyone in. But for some reason, he notices her-and Emma can't help but get drawn into his world. Luke has secrets. So does Emma. But when they're together, the chaos quiets-and for the first time, Emma starts to feel like she belongs. As their connection deepens, so do the risks. Because falling for Luke means more than butterflies and heartbeats-it means facing the pain they've both buried deep. And not everyone wants to see them together. In Not Alone, two broken hearts will learn that love doesn't always fix everything... but sometimes, it's enough to keep holding on.
