•Healing from SA •New school •Enemies to lovers •Slow burn Everyone thinks eighteen-year-old Sienna Emerson moved to Ashwood because her mom wanted a fresh start after her parents' marriage fell apart. That's the lie. The truth is, eight months ago, Sienna's life ended in her hometown. After being sexually assaulted then betrayed by someone she trusted, the whispers spread through the halls of her school before she was even out of the hospital. Some people believed her. Most didn't. They called her dramatic. Said she regretted it. Asked what she was wearing. Wondered why she didn't fight harder. She lost herself. Every classroom became a reminder. Every hallway held another pair of eyes. So her and her mom packed up their lives and left. Ashwood was supposed to be a place where nobody knew her name. Instead, it becomes the place where she learns that healing isn't about forgetting, it's about finding people who remind you that what happened to you doesn't define who you are.
