BOOK TWO OF THE : Santiago series Seventeen years have passed since Nyla and Ezra's world collided in the streets of Norbrook. Now, it's their children's turn to find their way. Geovanni Ivontae Santiago and Nahalia Nayeli Santiago are twins with the same blood but completely different paths. Geovanni, confident and charming, runs the halls of Kingston College with his boys. Nahalia, poised and observant, carves out her own space at Camperdown High alongside her closest friends. Everything shifts when Meilani Amoya Lennox, the soft-spoken but sharp-minded new girl, transfers to Camperdown. With secrets tucked behind her lashes and a quiet strength in her spirit, she captures attention without even trying-especially Nahalia's. As the teens navigate friendship, first loves, loyalty, and identity, the shadows of their parents' pasts linger just out of reach. Love blooms, but so do rivalries, regrets, and hard truths. Because in this world... love is never just enough.
