For Joey Lynch, the world was never anything but a rotten, cruel battlefield. Born on a holiday meant for light, he was instead forged in the darkness of an abusive legacy, forced to become a protector before he was even a boy. He is a creature of trauma and raw survival, forever battling the seductive, drowning pull of addiction that promises a final escape. But there has always been a light in the dark for him. Just a singular, defiant spark: Estella, his sister's best friend. She is a magnificent anomaly, a walking, breathing sunbeam in his grime-coated life. Her hair is a shock of bright, liquid silver, catching the light like spilled moonlight, framing a face that is dizzyingly, charmingly cute. Her eyes, wide and unnerving, are the colour of molten silver.When she stares up at Joey, meeting his trauma-hardened gaze with her impossible luminosity and a cheeky, uncompromising grin, he knows: she is trouble. The necessary kind. He has lost everything: his peace, his innocence, his stability. But she is the one thing that can never slip away. Not when he snarls and retreats like a cornered animal; she simply stares, her bright eyes unsettlingly steady, and deploys that silly, confident grin. God, he is putty in her hands. The temptation between them is a physical, humming wire, stretched taut for years. But when they finally give in-when the shadow reaches for the light, and the light does not pull away-things dare to take a turn for the worse. As Joey fights his darkest demons, trying to fend off his violent father and the relentless grip of addiction, he discovers that the girl who glows has been quietly burning, too. They need to decide if this fierce, hard-won love can genuinely tame all the anger and war within them... ... and if a single, silver light is truly the answer to all the world's rot.

To everyone else, Matilda is just another Holland-a name that carries the weight of her father's and brother's mistakes. The Hollands are trouble, everyone knows that. A family built on recklessness, lies, and a reputation that stains everything it touches. People assume she's the same, another product of a name better avoided. But Johnny sees past all of it. He sees the way her shoulders tense when people whisper, the way she fights to carve out a life that isn't dictated by the men who came before her. She's not her father's temper or her brother's recklessness. She's softer, sharper, ten times more than the reputation that follows her. And with him, for once, she feels like someone worth seeing.

Journee Lynch has always lived in the shadows-of her siblings, her twin Joey, and the trauma she's quietly carried alone. In a family bursting with strong personalities and loud voices, Journee is the one everyone forgets. Quiet, scarred, and painfully overlooked, she's learned to expect invisibility. Hughie Biggs, on the other hand, can't afford to go unnoticed. The golden boy of Tommen, he's the picture of perfection: top of his class, star on the field, and the pride of his family. But the pressure to be flawless is suffocating, and mistakes are not part of his reality. Their worlds collide when Hughie stumbles upon Journee-the girl no one sees but who captures all of him. In her, he finds something real. Something raw. And as he begins to uncover the layers of the girl everyone overlooks, he finds himself captivated by the very imperfections she's been taught to hide.

But what about the girl who couldn't care less about who he is? Shaylee isn't like the others. And Rudy? He's far more wrecked than he lets on. They weren't meant to cross paths. But once they do, there's no going back. Not when the lines between hate and obsession blur, and secrets threaten to tear the ground out from beneath them both.
