Hannah Price has perfected the art of going unnoticed. Quiet, careful, and happiest with her nose in a book. She's spent years avoiding the world while her neighbor clearly hasn't. Rafe Carter stays to himself after he lost his mother at 18. He's the boy next door who seems to collect girls, smiles, and chaos without even trying. He keeps his personal life hidden. Sure, he's cute. Everyone knows he's cute. But Hannah learned early that crushes fade and annoyances don't, especially when his music shakes her bedroom wall every night. When one too-loud song pushes her past her limit, Hannah storms outside to confront him. What she expects is an argument. What she gets is Rafe- calm, completely unbothered-and suddenly interested in the quiet girl who always try's to stay away. Their awkward first clash turns into a series of unexpected run-ins, shared glances, and accidental late-night conversations. As Rafe starts trying, really trying, to get to know her, Hannah is forced to admit that maybe her annoyance wasn't annoyance at all... maybe it was something she didn't want to feel. But when the boy who has never loved sets his sights on the girl who hides, their worlds collide in ways neither of them saw coming. And Hannah must decide whether to keep her heart safe, or trust the noisy, ridiculous, irresistible boy next door with it.

"Get off me." I struggle to no avail, trying to get control of my arms, which he easily keeps pinned. "You son of a-" I'm cut off by his hand over my mouth, leaving his other hand to grip both my wrists above my head. "Do you really want to finish that sentence?"

I try to bite his hand, but it's pressed so tightly on my mouth that my teeth can't get a grip on anything. I just want to get out of this extremely vulnerable position. He's barely even putting force into his actions, and yet he is so much stronger than me. It's a terrifying thought to realise that you would be helpless if a man wanted to harm you, subjected to his whims just because of biological differences. "Seriously, Mollie, stop being so childish." He removes his hand and wipes it on my shirt. I don't miss how his hand stays on my waist. "Get off me then," I hide my fear behind my anger and hope he doesn't see through it. I think he does, because he teases me with a smile, "What will you do if I don't? You can't exactly do much in this position." His words sink an arrow of terror into my gut. *** Mollie's bus is hijacked by a group of masked men one day when she's on her way home from university. The hostages are taken to a house in the woods where they're ransomed back to their families. All except Mollie. The leader of the masked men has an interest in her, one that seems to have existed before the hijacking, and doesn't want to let her go. It seems that she's been kidnapped for keeps.
