Tara Lynch is dead. Or so everyone thinks. After the devastating fire that claimed her parents and her childhood home, her younger siblings were placed into the unexpected care of her boyfriend's parents. That boyfriend? None other than Johnny Kavanagh, Ireland's golden boy of rugby, blissfully unaware that his girlfriend isn't just alive, but carrying his child. Now, under the assumed identity of Elizabeth Ladner, Tara finds herself on the sun-drenched shores of Mallorca, courtesy of the quiet, unwavering support of Malachy and Ciaran. With nothing left to lose, having already sacrificed everything-her past, her name, and her connection to the siblings she adores- Tara is determined to forge a new life. She knows that the unexpected life blooming inside her is both a miracle and a threat: a secret that could shatter Johnny's rising international stardom and expose her carefully constructed new reality. As the lines between Tara and Elizabeth blur, and the due date looms, she must decide if her desperate act of self-preservation was the ultimate betrayal, or the only way to protect a future she never thought she'd have. But how long can a dead girl stay hidden, especially when the greatest secret she carries is about to be born?

IN WHICH: TADHG LYNCH X LEAH DALY Tadhg Lynch is a boy lost in borrowed belonging, sleepless nights, too-tight blazers, and the kind of silence that presses on your chest like a stone. He survives by vanishing, one grade, one night, one day at a time. Leah Daly is a ghost in her own life, perfect on paper, hollow beneath. Grief built her a cage, and her father locked the door behind her when her mother died. They were never meant to meet, let alone matter to each other. But in the wreckage of everything they can't say, they find something like peace, sharp-edged, forbidden, and quietly life-saving.

Tadhg Lynch has never liked Niamh Gallagher-not in primary school when her life seemed perfect, and definitely not now at Tommen College. After his father's violent rampage tore his family apart, Niamh was one of the few who tried to be kind, but he lashed out, shutting her down. Years later, she's unrecognizable. Once warm, she's now the Ice Queen, untouchable and ruthless. Forced to be around her thanks to their best friends dating, Tadhg is thrown by her transformation. She's not the girl he resented, nor the one who pitied him-she's Frost, sharp-edged and cold. But beneath their bickering and hostility, something simmers. As tension builds, old wounds reopen, and neither can ignore the undeniable pull between them. Hate was easy. Wanting each other? That's dangerous.

Tadhg Lynch has always been a fighter: on the pitch, in petty school fights, and against the demons that won't let him rest. But some battles can't be won with fists. His temper is burning bridges faster than he can build them, and for the first time, he isn't sure if he cares enough to extinguish it. Jade Lordan has spent years outrunning her own reality, pushing herself past every limit to prove to herself, to others, and to no one in particular, that she's in control. But control is slipping through her fingers faster than she wants to admit. They shouldn't make sense together. She's discipline and determination; he's recklessness and self-destruction. But when their worlds intertwine, neither can seem to untangle themselves. And maybe they don't want to. ੈ✩‧₊˚ [BASED ON THE BOYS OF TOMMEN SERIES BY CHLOE WALSH]
