"𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐛𝐞, 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐢 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐝, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐰𝐨 𝐨𝐟 𝐮𝐬 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐞𝐫." 𐮚𐮙𐮚𐮙𐮚༄ 𝐓𝐀𝐃𝐇𝐆 𝐋𝐘𝐍𝐂𝐇 grew up in an abusive household for the first few years of his life, and his life turned around when the Kavanagh's took he and his family into their home. Now at age seventeen, he's going into his fifth year at Tommen College, but despite the area code change and his new upbringing, he still holds that trauma that flows through his veins, refusing to let anyone get too close to him. That is until he meets Aisling Byrne. ‎𐮚𐮙𐮚𐮙𐮚༄ 𝐀𝐈𝐒𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐁𝐘𝐑𝐍𝐄 has been on the run from her abusive father for six months, and has finally found solitude in County Cork, Ireland, in the town of Ballylaggin with her grandparents, her mother, and older cousin, Niall. Entering her fifth year at Tommen College, Aisling is determined to stay focused and stay alert, not letting anyone get too close. But when Tadhg Lynch, the troubled and violent, but beautiful student, enters her life, there's no way she can stay away, and neither can he.

Liora Quinn wears her heart on her sleeve. Ollie Lynch keeps his locked away. One unforgettable night changed everything. During the summer, Ollie and Liora crossed paths at a party-she was reeling from a breakup, and he was caught in the moment. A passionate one-night stand left them both shaken, but while Liora is desperate to relive what they had, Ollie pretends it never happened. With his future mapped out-graduate from Tommen, become a barrister, and leave behind any distractions-he refuses to let himself get caught up in feelings he doesn't believe he can afford. But Liora isn't one to back down easily. After finally freeing herself from her controlling ex, she knows what she wants, and it's not the perfect, polished life she once thought she needed. It's Ollie-the boy who kissed her like she was the only girl in the world and then walked away without a second glance. Determined to break through his walls, Liora chases him, making it impossible for Ollie to ignore what he's spent months trying to forget. But the more he pushes her away, the harder he falls. Until one day, avoiding her isn't an option anymore. Ollie Lynch has always played it safe, but love has a way of ruining even the best-laid plans. And when he finally lets himself fall, will it be too late? Or will chasing love cost him everything he's worked for?
