Her life seems as if it's all fun and games, but her reality is a nightmare she keeps locked behind closed doors. At home, she is trapped in a relationship with a boyfriend whose charm has turned into control and abuse. Zaria hides her bruises and her fear with a bright smile. She's determined to protect her friends and family from the truth. But everything changes when she starts noticing August. August is her best friend's younger brother and he's completely off-limits. Scarred by years of bullying, August is quiet, shy, and prefers to keep his head down. While the world sees a wallflower, Zaria sees a soul worth knowing. As Zaria tries to pull August out of his shell, an unexpected bond forms. He becomes her safe space, and she becomes his strength. But their secret relationship is a dangerous game. If her boyfriend finds out, she's in trouble. If her best friend finds out, she lose her. @𝑷𝑵𝑲𝑩𝑨𝑹𝑩𝑰𝑬𝑫𝑶𝑳𝑳 ❤︎︎
