For the past five years, Kathy White has kept the world at a distance. Quiet. Guarded. Untouchable.
But she wasn't always this way.
Buried beneath the walls she's built is a secret, born from the night her childhood home burned to the ground-when the two people who were supposed to protect her left her behind in the flames. Ever since, trust has been a risk she refuses to take.
At her new school, Kathy plans to stay invisible.
Then Jake Sulfree arrives-confident, relentless, and somehow determined to get past the barriers she's spent years perfecting.
But Jake isn't the only one trying to reach her. When someone from Kathy's past reappears, she's forced to confront a question she's avoided for years:
What if not everyone is meant to betray her?
As old wounds resurface and new connections begin to form, Kathy must decide whether the walls protecting her are also the ones keeping her trapped.
