Vienna
I'm not here to belong. I'm here to disappear. Ballylaggin is just the latest escape route. New house, new school, new name, a life crafted out of lies so I can survive the truth. I promised myself I wouldn't get attached, wouldn't slip, wouldn't let anyone close enough to notice the cracks in the mask.
Then I met AJ Lynch.
Kind eyes. Quiet strength. A boy who listens more than he speaks, who watches the world like he's searching for something real. I never meant for him to see me. I never meant to let him.
AJ
Being a Lynch means holding it together. For my family. For my team. For everyone counting on me. I've spent years swallowing pressure whole and pretending it doesn't crush me. Then a girl with shadows in her eyes walked into my life and knocked the air out of my lungs.
Vienna is a contradiction-sharp and soft, distant and desperate to belong. She pushes every instinct I have to protect. She terrifies me. She intrigues me. And if her past is coming for her... Its going to have to come through me first.
A slow-burn romance that follows AJ Lynch and Vienna Alvarez. Set in the Boys of Tommen universe, almost 20 years after the events of the original series.

I exhaled, turning around slowly to meet his eyes, still trapped between him and the door. "You have five seconds."
He blinked. "Five seconds for what?"
"Five seconds to either let me walk out of here and finish my night with Ben..." My voice softened dangerously.
"...or five seconds to give me a reason not to."
