Penelope Black has never had the luxury of stability. Bouncing between foster homes, the only constant in her life has been her older brother, Charlie, and her little sister. For years, she's learned to rely on herself, keeping people at arm's length to avoid the pain of losing them. But when an incident forces her to transfer schools, she finds herself in unfamiliar territory-new faces, new expectations, and one person she absolutely should not be noticing. John Kavanagh has everything Penelope never had-a loving home, parents who support him, and a future mapped out in front of him. As the school's star rugby player, he's used to the attention, but he's never given much thought to Charlie Black's younger sister. Until now. When Penelope steps into his world, she's a storm he never saw coming. She's guarded, sharp-tongued, and determined to keep her distance, but there's something about her that draws him in. The more he tries to understand her, the more she pushes back, hiding behind walls built to protect herself from the very thing John wants to give-safety, trust, and maybe something more. But Penelope knows better than to believe in fairy tales. Happy endings don't exist for girls like her. And with secrets she can't share and a past that refuses to let her go, falling for her brother's best friend might just be the most reckless mistake she's ever made. ----- john kavanaghx fem!oc ©liawrit3ss
