"freya skye knows who malachi barton is. everyone does. they've crossed paths, shared rooms, lived in the same world- but they've never really known each other. so when a stranger starts texting her, it's easy to talk. easy to open up. easy to trust someone who doesn't expect anything from her. he listens. he understands. he sees the parts of her no one else notices. and somewhere between late-night conversations and secrets she's never said out loud- she falls. there's just one problem. the boy she's been telling everything to is the same boy she thought she only knew from a distance. and some lies don't just break trust- they break everything."

Malachi. Hockey team captain. Every girl's dream boyfriend. Never met 'the one' until he has. Freya. Figure skater for fun. Never really thought about boys until she meets him.

~~UNFINISHED~~ Freya's parents moved to New York for new jobs and supposedly to live closer with their family, her aunt and uncle and four cousins. At her new school, kids are mean, kids are nice, some are even flirty. She gets a job at a local records store, with a guy from her school. He happens to be in her cousin's friend group. They hang out a lot, bonding over their love for music and such. One night she comes home and her parents are arguing, not normal. Then they start talking about her, saying how she's going to turn out like her aunt, who doesn't have a job and relies on her husband.

Malachi and Freya go to the same college and end up living in the same apartment building across from each other and they have crossed paths until one day, Jake Freya's boyfriend invites her over for dinner one day and that's where she finds out Malachi is actually Jake's hot older brother. Will she fall for him?

𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘: Freya Skye Jones has made her previous burden an unexpected lover. Malachi Barton has gone from her irritating next door neighbor to an admirable boyfriend in just one summer. However, dating her previous best friend comes with its issues. Her popularity is rising exponentially, and his senior year is proving to be more stressful than expected. Balancing her relationship and perfection seems impossible, but no problem is too big when they have love...right?

THE POLAROID IN MY POCKET "I'M NOT THE GIRL IN THE PHOTO ANYMORE, MALACHI. SHE DIED IN LONDON." "THEN LET ME MEET THE GIRL WHO CAME BACK. BECAUSE I'VE BEEN HOLDING ONTO THIS FOR TEN YEARS." FREYA SKYE JONES was eight years old when she vanished. no goodbye, no letters, no explanation-just a house left empty and a childhood best friend left with a million unanswered questions. but the move to the uk wasn't the fairytale her parents promised. instead, it was a descent into a nightmare that left her heart scarred and her voice silenced. now, freya is back in los angeles, but she isn't the sun-kissed girl who left. she's a ghost in a volleyball jersey, a captain who leads in whispers, and a girl who flinches whenever the world gets too loud. MALACHI DANIEL BARTON is the king of the ice. as the captain of the hockey team, he has the perfect life, the perfect reputation, and the perfect girlfriend in ARIANNA GREENBLATT. he spent a decade trying to forget the girl who abandoned him, but the second freya skye walks back into the halls of their high school, his carefully built world starts to crack. she's guarded. she's broken. and she's terrified of the very boy who used to be her safe haven. while malachi tries to bridge the ten-year gap between them, freya is just trying to survive the echoes of her past. with a faded polaroid tucked in her pocket and a brother, WALKER SCOBELL, who will do anything to keep her safe, freya has to decide if she's ready to be seen again. in a world of ice hockey vs. volleyball, old loyalties vs. new scars, and the crushing weight of a slow burn that refuses to die, malachi and freya must figure out if some things are better left in the past-or if the girl in the photo is still worth fighting for. "SOME MEMORIES ARE TOO HEAVY TO CARRY ALONE. LUCKILY, I'VE ALWAYS BEEN GOOD AT LIFTING THE WEIGHT." ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
