I blame CrankThatFrank for this.

Now available as Audiobook on Audible India. Moving back to her old school, Alana befriends the arrogant Xavier. Underneath his scars are feelings for her, feelings neither of them can deny. ***** Moving back to her hometown after six years away, Alana meets her childhood rival, Xavier, sitting on her mother's gravestone. He's still determined to tease and annoy her, and his arrogance and willingness to fight means she writes him off as a good-for-nothing. But underneath Xavier's tough-guy facade is a heart that has given too much, and been hurt too deeply. With each moment she spends with him, Alana starts to feel more connected to him. She gradually helps Xavier find himself, and he shows her how incredible she is as well. But after facing a tragic loss that shakes Xavier to the core, will Alana be able to hang on to him, or will he fall so deeply into himself that both of them are lost?
