Aria Reed falls in love with a boy who might be taken from her. Locklyn Covey is quiet, guarded, and trying not to disappear. He's learned how to survive by staying small, by never wanting too much, by leaving before anyone can hurt him first. His past is catching up fast, and the future feels like something he doesn't get to choose.
Aria sees him anyway. She comes from a safe home, a family that shows up, a world where love doesn't come with conditions. Loving Locklyn doesn't fix him, but it gives him something he's never had before: a reason to stay.
As court dates loom and distance threatens to pull them apart, Aria has to decide what it means to love someone you can't save, because sometimes love isn't about rescue.
Sometimes it's about staying in someone's orbit and refusing to let them burn out.
